Makes an appropriation to the Desert Research Institute of the Nevada System of Higher Education to support the Nevada State Cloud Seeding Program. (BDR S-389)
SB 6 amends Nevada's Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act to revise a program relocating residents from sinking homes in North Las Vegas. It changes eligibility to require property ownership as of August 1, 2025 (instead of 2023), clarifies neighborhood boundaries, and allows vacant lot owners or descendants to participate. The bill appropriates $25 million from the State General Fund to cover relocation costs, provides 5-year property tax abatements for new homes, and establishes procedures for lien management and mortgage transfers. It directly affects single-family homeowners and vacant lot owners in the Windsor Park neighborhood whose properties are damaged by ground subsidence. The program requires the Housing Division to provide quarterly reports to the legislature and administer the property exchange process.
