Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
     Existing law contains the Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act, which
establishes a program for the relocation of persons residing in the Windsor Park
neighborhood of the City of North Las Vegas whose residences have been damaged
by the sinking of the ground beneath the residences. (Chapter 531, Statutes of
Nevada 2023, at page 3538) Under the Act, the Housing Division of the
Department of Business and Industry is required to establish and administer a
program by which the owner of a single-family residence in the Windsor Park
neighborhood who owns the residence on July 1, 2023, may exchange the residence
in the Windsor Park neighborhood for a new residence constructed in accordance
with the Act. (Section 9 of chapter 531, Statutes of Nevada 2023, at page 3540)
This bill makes revisions to the Act.
     Section 1 of this bill requires the Housing Division to: (1) adopt regulations to
carry out the provisions of the Act, including, without limitation, regulations
governing certain specific topics; and (2) provide quarterly reports to the Interim
Finance Committee concerning the implementation of the provisions of the Act.
     Section 2 of this bill clarifies the boundaries of the Windsor Park neighborhood
for the purposes of determining the owners of single-family residences or vacant
lots who are eligible to participate in the program.
     Section 3 of this bill: (1) requires that, to be eligible to participate in the
program, an owner of a single-family residence or vacant lot in the Windsor Park
   -  36th Special Session (2025)
                                         –2–
neighborhood must have owned that single-family residence or lot on August 1,
2025, rather than July 1, 2023; (2) authorizes a person who is the owner of a vacant
lot in the Windsor Park neighborhood and who was the owner, or is the descendant
of the former owner, of a single-family residence that was formerly located on that
vacant lot in the Windsor Park neighborhood to participate in the program by
exchanging the vacant lot for another vacant lot in an area as near as reasonably
practicable to the Windsor Park neighborhood; (3) authorizes a person who resides
in the Windsor Park neighborhood to establish that he or she is the owner of a
single-family residence or a vacant lot in the Windsor Park neighborhood, and,
thus, is eligible to participate in the program, by executing an affidavit, under
penalty of perjury, or presenting certain other documentation to establish
inheritance or ownership of the property; (4) establishes that the number of new
single-family residences to be constructed must be based on an eligibility list
verified by the Housing Division; (5) authorizes assistance to pay off, discharge or
transfer liens that prevent an exchange under the Act; (6) provides that until July 1,
2057, a single-family residence acquired pursuant to the Act is entitled to an
abatement of a certain amount of property taxes levied on the single-family
residence; (7) provides an exemption from taxes on the transfer of real property for
certain transfers of a single-family residence pursuant to the Act; (8) requires the
Housing Division to file a lien on the single-family residence acquired pursuant to
the Act to secure repayment of certain amounts if the new residence is sold within 5
years after the filing of the lien; (9) authorizes a mortgage on a single-family
residence in the Windsor Park neighborhood to be transferred to the new residence
acquired under the Act; (10) limits the amount of any assistance provided to pay off
a mortgage on a single-family residence in the Windsor Park neighborhood to the
payoff amount on May 25, 2025, unless certain circumstances exist authorizing an
additional amount to be paid off; (11) authorizes the closing of the transaction for
the exchange of a single-family residence or vacant lot under the Act to be an
escrow process with the issuance of certain title insurance and provides for the
payment of certain fees and charges associated with such a transaction; (12)
expresses the intent of the Legislature that because of the circumstances existing in
the Windsor Park neighborhood, for the purposes of federal income taxation, the
exchange of a single-family residence or vacant lot under the Act be considered an
involuntary exchange as a result of the destruction, in whole or in part, of the
single-family residence or vacant lot a threatened requisition or condemnation; (13)
requires the entity selected to develop and construct a single-family residence
pursuant to the Act to perform certain additional work related to the project,
without formal bidding under existing state law, including, without limitation,
demolishing the homes in the Windsor Park neighborhood for the purposes of
creating the public park required under the Act; and (14) authorizes that entity to
retain or reuse existing infrastructure rather than demolish such infrastructure under
certain circumstances.
     Section 4 of this bill removes the requirement for the Housing Division to pay
moving expenses and restitution to owners of single-family residences in the
Windsor Park neighborhood from certain Community Development Block Grant
funds transferred to the Housing Division and, instead, requires relocation expenses
to be paid from money available for the purposes of the Act and Community
Development Block Grant funds to be used only for purposes for which federal law
authorizes the use of such funds.
     Section 6 of this bill appropriates $25,000,000 from the State General Fund to
the Housing Division for the purposes of the Act.

pursuant to paragraph (c) of subsection 2, the Housing
Division shall pay, in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per
single-family residence, the cost of rehabilitating a single-
family residence constructed for a resident of the Windsor
Park neighborhood using money received by the City from a
Community Development Block Grant. The governmental
entity, nonprofit corporation or other entity selected by the
Housing Division pursuant to subsection 2 of section 9 of this
act shall inspect the single-family residence to determine
whether or not the rehabilitation has been satisfactorily
completed.
    5.] Such relocation expenses may be paid to a person
who was the tenant of an owner of a single-family residence
in the Windsor Park neighborhood on August 1, 2025, and
who is required to move residences as a result of the
program established pursuant to section 9 of this act.

                                 – 13 –
       Subject to such safeguards as the Housing Division deems
       appropriate to ensure that the objective of the payment is
       accomplished, relocation expenses may be paid in advance
       directly to the owner or tenant incurring the expenses or to
       the vendor, based on documentation, including, without
       limitation, quotes, establishing the actual amount of the
       expenses. To the extent that money [transferred] available to
       the Housing Division [pursuant to subsection 2 is] to carry
       out the provisions of the Windsor Park Environmental
       Justice Act is insufficient to make the entire amount of the
       payments required by this subsection, [3 or 4,] the Housing
       Division shall reduce such payments on a pro rata basis.
           4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, for
       the purposes of this section, relocation expenses may
       include, without limitation, packing, movers, insurance,
       storage up to 90 days, utility deposits and transfers,
       reconnection fees, household appliances not included in the
       development, furniture replacement, fixtures, solar panel
       reinstallation, temporary lodging up to 30 days and
       transportation for tenant households only. Any expenses for
       which federal law governing the use of money from a
       Community Development Block Grant prohibits payment as
       relocation expenses must not be considered relocation
       expenses for the purposes of this section.
    Sec. 5. (Deleted by amendment.)
    Sec. 6. 1. There is hereby appropriated from the State
General Fund to the Housing Division of the Department of
Business and Industry the sum of $25,000,000 for the purposes set
forth in the Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act, being chapter
531, Statutes of Nevada 2023, at page 3538, and the provisions of
sections 1 to 5, inclusive, of this act.
    2. Any remaining balance of the appropriation made by
subsection 1 must not be committed for expenditure after June 30,
2028, by the entity to which the appropriation is made or any entity
to which money from the appropriation is granted or otherwise
transferred in any manner, and any portion of the appropriated
money remaining must not be spent for any purpose after
September 15, 2028, by either the entity to which the money was
appropriated or the entity to which the money was subsequently
granted or transferred, and must be reverted to the State General
Fund on or before September 15, 2028.
    Sec. 7. This act becomes effective upon passage and approval.
