The Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act organizes its contents into six main sections, each addressing specific land management issues. These sections cover the short title and table of contents, definitions, public purpose conveyance and disposal, tribal trust land transfers, additions to the national wilderness areas, the voluntary donation of grazing permits, the establishment of national conservation areas, and the withdrawal of certain lands.

The section defines several terms used in the Act, such as "Conservation Area," which is a protected national area, and "County," which refers to Washoe County in Nevada. It also clarifies that the "Secretary" typically means the Secretary of the Interior and provides definitions for other terms like "Indian Tribe," "State," and "Wilderness Area."

The section outlines various land conveyances in Nevada where different governmental and local entities, including the cities of Reno and Sparks, Washoe County, the Washoe County School District, and several districts, will receive parcels of Federal land for public use without any cost. Each entity is responsible for the costs associated with the conveyance process, and if the land is not used as specified, it may revert to the United States.

The bill section outlines the process for selling certain federal lands in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and areas identified in the Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act, for purposes like affordable housing and environmental conservation. It describes how the lands' suitability will be evaluated, how the proceeds from sales will be distributed, and how sales must comply with local planning laws, offering some lands below market value for affordable housing projects.

The section outlines the transfer of approximately 11,373 acres of Federal land to be held in trust for the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, making it part of their reservation. A survey and legal description will define the land's boundaries, and it cannot be used for gaming activities as defined by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

The section discusses the transfer of about 8,319 acres of federal land to be held in trust for the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, becoming part of their reservation. It specifies that the land, once surveyed and described in the Federal Register, cannot be used for certain types of gambling.

The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony will have about 160 acres of their land transferred to the United States government to be held in trust, becoming part of their reservation. A detailed survey will be conducted to establish the boundaries of this land, and its legal description will be published in the Federal Register.

The section outlines the transfer of certain Federal lands to the Secretary to be held in trust for the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, making it part of their reservation. It also specifies that these lands will not be used for gaming activities and requires the publication of the land's legal description in the Federal Register after a survey to define its boundaries.

The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California will have about 2 acres of their land officially held in trust by the United States, making it part of their reservation. Within 180 days of the Act's passage, the boundaries of this land will be surveyed, and its legal description will be published in the Federal Register.

In accordance with the Wilderness Act, this section of the bill designates several areas in the state as wilderness, including the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Bitner Table, Wrangler Canyon, Burro Mountain, and Granite-Banjo, which will be part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. These areas will have boundaries defined by roads and fencing, with maps and legal descriptions to be prepared, while being withdrawn from public, mining, and mineral leasing laws.

The section describes how wilderness areas should be managed by the Secretary according to various Acts, ensuring existing rights and activities like livestock grazing, military overflights, Native American uses, and wildlife management are respected. It also outlines the rules for water rights, new projects, climatological data collection, and cooperative agreements with states, emphasizing minimal impact on wilderness values.

In this section, Congress states that several areas of federal land in the County, previously considered for wilderness designation, have been studied enough and are now released from such consideration. These lands will instead follow existing land management plans and agreements. Additionally, certain lands within the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge don't need to be maintained for future wilderness potential and will be managed according to specific conservation plans.

The Secretary of the Interior is required to accept donations of grazing leases or permits for public lands in specific areas, and permanently stop grazing on those lands unless another valid permit still exists. If there's another permit covering the same land in the Horse Lake allotment, the authorized grazing level must be adjusted to reflect the donation.

The bill establishes several National Conservation Areas in the state, which include: Massacre Rim Dark Sky, Kiba Canyon Range, Smoke Creek, Pah Rah, and Fox Range. These areas encompass thousands of acres of federal land as shown on the map labeled "Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act—National Conservation Areas & Wilderness" and are dated November 14, 2024.

The purposes of the Conservation Areas are to protect and improve various resources—such as cultural, natural, and scientific ones—for people now and in the future. Additionally, some areas focus on preserving dark skies for enjoyment by current and future generations.

The section explains that the Secretary is required to create and submit maps and legal descriptions of each Conservation Area to certain Senate and House committees soon after the law is passed. These documents will be as official as if they were included in the law itself, but the Secretary can fix any minor errors. Copies of these maps and descriptions must be available for the public to see at Bureau of Land Management offices.

The Secretary is tasked with managing Conservation Areas to protect their resources according to existing laws and must create a detailed management plan with public input within seven years. The plan will regulate land use, include public and tribal consultations, ensure access for private landowners, continue certain prior uses like grazing, and allow necessary infrastructure development, while also supporting joint efforts with public and private entities for educational and conservation purposes.

The section details the withdrawal of specific lands from various forms of entry, mining, and leasing laws, including national forest lands, Bureau of Land Management lands, and wildlife refuge lands. It ensures existing utility rights-of-way are preserved and allows the establishment of new utility rights-of-way subject to relevant laws and conditions.
