WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei’s (NV-02) Nevada Lands Bill Technical Corrections Act of 2018 (H.R. 6299) unanimously passed out of the House of Representatives today.

“This legislation is a win-win for Nevadans,” said Congressman Amodei. “The measures included in this bill will create long-term economic prosperity and strengthen Nevada’s conservation efforts by responsibly authorizing land development and restoration projects. I would like to acknowledge and thank my colleagues on the House Natural Resources Committee for making this a priority and moving it through the House. I’m pleased to see this legislation advance with unanimous, bipartisan support and will continue working for common-sense policies that give businesses in Nevada increased opportunities for growth and success.”
