Introduced by Congressman Mark Amodei (R-NV), this legislation contains highly valued measures for the state of Nevada, including job-creating measures such as the Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act.\r\n\u201cFrom Day One, Mark worked extremely hard to negotiate a compromise with the Nevada House delegation and the Republican and Democrat House leadership.\u00a0Public lands bills bring the Nevada delegation together, and Mark\u2019s efforts to usher this legislation through the United States House of Representatives should be applauded.\u00a0 \r\n\u201cI support this legislation and will work with Senator Reid and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to ensure this proposal appears on the President\u2019s desk for signature prior to the end of the 113th Congress,\u201d said Senator Heller.\u00a0\r\nTwo of the largest components of H.R.5205 are the Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act and the Pine Forest Range Recreation Enhancement Act, two long-standing proposals that would spur economic development, enhance U.S. national security, and conserve areas where thousands of Nevadans hunt, fish, camp, and hike every year.\u00a0 Both of these proposals were jointly introduced by Senator Heller and Senator Reid, and cleared the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in 2013.\u00a0\r\nSenator Heller, a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has also worked on counterparts to the Fernley Economic Self-Determination Act, the Elko Motocross and Tribal Conveyance Act and legislation to fix Storey County\u2019s land issue, the Nevada Mining Townsite Conveyance Act. He supports all seven titles of Northern Nevada Public Lands package and will work to see them enacted before the end of this Congress. \u00a0\u00a0\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=9aaa222a-4578-4bfd-801a-dffb63bfe6d8"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7241742461919785, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
