Bill overview
This bill authorizes the Governor of Nevada to ratify two interstate agreements related to wildfire protection: the Great Plains Wildland Fire Protection Compact and the Northwest Wildland Fire Protection Agreement. The Great Plains Compact allows Nevada to cooperate with other states in preventing and controlling forest fires, providing reciprocal aid if requested. The Northwest Agreement establishes a framework for coordinating wildfire efforts among member states. The bill requires the Governor to notify the member states of Nevada’s ratification and sets a date for the agreements to become effective upon the Governor’s declaration.
