Environment (Conservation)

AJR 10 is a Nevada legislative resolution urging the federal government to release certain federally managed lands in Nevada for housing development. It directly affects Nevada residents facing a housing shortage, as 85% of Nevada's land is federally owned (primarily by the Bureau of Land Management), limiting affordable housing options. The resolution specifically requests that Congress prioritize passing the Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, which would transfer specific federal parcels to Nevada or local governments for housing while requiring sustainable development and environmental protections. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change federal law but formally asks the federal government to act on Nevada's housing needs.
