Session Law Citation: Chapter 469, Laws of 1997
In addition to providing for numerous long-range building projects, House Bill 5 (1997) made possible the state's purchase and administration of Virginia and Nevada Cities and other historically significant state properties. To this end, House Bill 5 established the Heritage Preservation and Development Commission. The Commission is composed of one Senator, one member of the House of Representatives, and seven members of the public with backgrounds in tourism, history and historic preservation, community planning, and business. Directors of the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks and the Historical Society, as well as the Governor's Economic Development Policy Advisor, also serve on the Commission.
Although the Commission is charged with overseeing the acquisition of culturally and historically significant properties throughout the state, its first order of business is to manage the administration of Virginia City and Nevada City.
