Specifically, this bill will transfer more than 70,000 acres of Nevada public lands back into tribal control – empowering those tribal governments to control their land use destinies. By carefully balancing the unique needs of our Nevada tribal nations with those of local ranchers, land owners, and businesses, this legislation will allow Nevadans to chart brighter futures for their communities, while preserving their cultural heritage and traditions. Congratulations to Nevada's original natives, you have been patient to say the least, and your resilience has paid off. Due to the fact that the Administration signaled support for the bill during the legislative process, we expect it to be signed into law shortly.
