United States · United States Congress · 4 June 2024

Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act This bill provides for the conservation or transfer of specified land in Nevada. Specifically, the bill transfers certain land so as to be to be held in trust for Native American tribes and modifies the boundaries of conservation areas. For example, the bill transfers land to be held in trust for the Moapa Band of Paiutes of the Moapa River Indian Reservation; transfers land to be held in trust for the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe; adjusts the boundary of the Red Rock National Conservation Area to include additional lands; revokes the Ivanpah Area of Critical Environmental Concern, with the exception of areas designated as special management areas for conservation purposes; and expands the boundaries of the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area and grants rights-of-way for a water transmission pipeline and related facilities. The bill also allows certain funds to be used for additional purposes relating to preservation sites, and it provides for additional land and public uses with respect to these sites. For example, the bill makes certain funds available for capital improvements in the Tule Springs Fossil Bed National Monument, designates additional lands in Nevada as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System, requires land conveyances to local governments in Nevada for specified public purposes, makes certain funds available to the City of Mesquite for implementation of a watershed plan for the Lower Virgin River, expands the limited transition area located in the city of Henderson, and establishes off-highway vehicle recreation areas.

Right to IVF Act

United States · United States Congress · 3 June 2024

Right to IVF Act This bill provides a statutory right to access fertility treatments (e.g., in vitro fertilization). Specifically, under the bill, individuals have the right to access fertility treatments and to make decisions about the use of their reproductive genetic material (e.g., embryos) without limitation or interference. Health care providers and insurers have the right to provide and cover these services, respectively. Manufacturers of applicable drugs or devices also have the right to provide these drugs or devices. The bill supersedes state laws that limit or otherwise interfere with the provision of fertility treatments as set out under this bill, including laws that require medically unnecessary procedures or services in conjunction with fertility treatments or that restrict the ability of individuals to receive fertility treatments based on marital status or sex (including sexual orientation or gender identity). The bill does not affect state health and safety regulations for medical facilities or health care providers that are in accordance with widely accepted and evidence-based medical standards and for which the purpose cannot be achieved in another, nonrestrictive manner. The Department of Justice may bring civil actions against states, individuals, or entities that implement or enforce limitations or requirements that violate this bill. Individuals and health care providers may also bring civil actions.  In addition, the bill provides for coverage of fertility treatments under Medicare and Medicaid and for members of the uniformed services and veterans. It also requires private insurers that cover obstetrical services to also cover fertility treatments.
