Parks District Enabling Legislation -- Final Push to Passage
A.B. 379 will allow us to consider alternative funding mechanisms to support our parks, trails, and open spaces in Nevada. Washoe County, the City of Reno, and a broad-base of citizens support the bill, which has passed the Assembly and Senate. Please call or email Governor Sandoval TODAY and ask him to sign A.B. 379 into law.
