Authorizes the Governor to enter into certain interstate fire compacts. (BDR 47-381)
SB 19 ratifies Nevada's membership in two existing interstate wildfire protection compacts: the Great Plains Wildland Fire Protection Compact and the Northwest Wildland Fire Protection Agreement. This allows Nevada's fire agencies to request and provide reciprocal firefighting aid with other participating states, with the requesting state responsible for reimbursing the aiding state and assuming liability for incidents during aid. The bill requires the Governor to notify the compacts' member states of Nevada's ratification and takes effect upon the Governor's declaration. Nevada's participation enables coordinated wildfire response across state lines under established terms.
