SB 286 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to tribal communication, cooperation and consultation when engaged in certain planning processes. (BDR 26-392)

SB 286 requires state agencies and local governments in Nevada to consult with tribal governments during land use planning processes, including when reviewing projects on state or public lands. It amends the State and Local Government Cooperation Act to rename it the "State, Local and Tribal Government Cooperation Act" and mandates that tribes be informed, consulted, and considered when adopting or amending certain plans. The bill defines "tribal government" for this purpose and clarifies that these requirements do not limit existing duties of state or local entities. This directly affects tribal governments, state agencies, and local governments (cities/counties) involved in land use planning. The policy change updates consultation procedures to formally include tribal input in planning decisions.
