AB 429 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to natural resources. (BDR 10-679)

AB 429 expands who can create and manage conservation easements in Nevada. It removes previous restrictions by allowing "any person" (including state/local governments, agencies, or private individuals) to establish, modify, or terminate these easements - previously limited to specific entities. The bill requires easement acceptance to be recorded to take effect and clarifies that conservation easements last indefinitely unless specified in the agreement or court-ordered. This change directly affects property owners, conservation groups, and government agencies involved in land conservation efforts by simplifying the legal process for creating conservation agreements.
