The U.S. Senate unanimously approved Sen. Jacky Rosen’s Carson City Public Land Correct Act on Thursday. The bill would transfer 1,270 acres of federal land to the city for public uses such as recreation and flood mitigation, while making about 356 acres available for private sale to qualified bidders. It also transfers 45 acres to the federal government. The measure still needs House approval and the president’s signature.
