During the 2019 Legislative Session, an appropriation of $5,000,000 was made from the State General Fund to the Interim Finance Committee for allocation to the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to provide matching money for wildfire prevention, restoration and long-term planning. (Chapter 455, Statutes of Nevada 2019, at page 2791) Section 1 of this bill provides for the reversion of any money remaining from that appropriation to the State General Fund by September 19, 2025.
Section 2 of this bill makes a supplemental appropriation from the State General Fund to the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for an unanticipated shortfall in the Forest Fire Suppression budget account.
