Lincoln County Land Act of 1999 - Grants Lincoln County, Nevada, the exclusive right to purchase specified public land in the County for a ten-year period. Withdraws such land from all forms of entry and appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, and from operation of the mineral leasing and geothermal laws during such period. Requires notification to the Secretary of the Interior by the County of which parcels the County intends to purchase no later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act. Provides for the following disposition of the gross proceeds of land sales under this Act in a fiscal year: (1) five percent shall be paid directly to Nevada for use in the State's general education program; (2) ten percent shall be returned to the County for use as determined through normal county budget procedures, with emphasis given to school support; and (3) the remainder shall be deposited in a special account in the Treasury and shall be available to the Secretary for the cost of acquisition of environmentally sensitive land in Nevada, with priority given to land outside Clark County, development of a multispecies habitat conservation plan in Lincoln County, and reimbursement of costs incurred by the Bureau of Land Management in preparing sales under this Act or other authorized land sales or exchanges within Lincoln County.
