-Historic Preservation (Nevada): New legislation protects the past.
Guinn approved a bill that gives added protection to historic and prehistoric sites in Nevada. Senate Bill 81, which becomes effective Oct. 1, says the state Office of Historic Preservation is authorized to enter into an agreement with a state agency or local government that is going to acquire federal lands. The agreement must ensure the protection of historic or prehistoric sites. It makes it a crime to traffic in cultural property taken from state land. The punishment is a fine of $500 for a first offense and a fine of $3,000 and up to a year in jail for a second and subsequent offenses.
