Nevada § 321.135 - Transfer of state park to local government

§ 321.135. Transfer of state park to local government

1. If the State of Nevada leases, sells or otherwise transfers, with or without consideration,

a state park or any part thereof to a local government, the local government must

agree to operate and maintain the park or part thereof in such a manner that the use

and enjoyment of the park or part thereof by the residents of this State is not diminished. 2. A local government to which is transferred any real property or other interest

in a state park, including, without limitation, any facility, equipment, water right

or mineral right, may not sell, lease, encumber, alienate or otherwise dispose of

the real property or other interest without authorization by a concurrent resolution

of the Legislature. 3. If the State of Nevada executes a deed for real property which is part of a state

park and which is transferred to a local government, the deed must: (a) Include restrictions that: (1) Protect all historical and recreational value of the property; (2) Guarantee public access to the property; and (3) Prevent the local government or any successor in title from transferring the property

without authorization by a concurrent resolution of the Legislature; and (b) Provide for the reversion of title to the property to the State of Nevada upon

the breach of any restriction specified in paragraph (a). 4. The transfer to a local government of any real property that is part of a state

park must not occur if any underlying lease of land from the Bureau of Land Management

used by the state park prohibits such a transfer or would, upon such a transfer, compromise

the ability of the local government to use the real property as a park. 5. A local government to which is transferred real property that is part of a state

park shall, if the real property is subject to a lease from any person or entity,

including, without limitation, the Bureau of Land Management, take all actions reasonable

and necessary to ensure that the leased property remains part of the park.
