Nevada Senate committee advances bill revising Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act with $26 million appropriation

A Nevada Senate committee on an unspecified date amended and passed Senate Bill 393 to revise the Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act and add a $26,000,000 general fund appropriation to the housing division for the Windsor Park project.

Wayne Thorley of the Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB) Fiscal Analysis Division told the committee that SB 393 "revises the Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act" and that a conceptual amendment discussed previously includes a $26 million general fund appropriation to the housing division for purposes of the Windsor Park project. Thorley said the amendment reflects a change from testimony presented the prior day and identified support from the Sierra Club Toiyabe Chapter. He said there was no testimony in opposition or neutral testimony on the bill.

The committee approved a motion to "amend and do pass as amended," moved by Senator Wynne and seconded by Senator Cannizzaro. Senator Titus voiced opposition during debate, saying, "I just think this is incredibly fiscally irresponsible, and I will be a no," and noting testimony that $16,000,000 in ARPA funds had not been spent. The clerk recorded no votes from Senator Titus and Senator Buck; the chair then declared the motion passed.

There were no callers for public comment on the public line during the work session. The chair closed the item and adjourned the meeting until the committee's next convening.

No further details about the bill text, implementation timetable, or exact vote tally were stated on the record during this excerpt.
