 To provide for the conveyance of certain public land in Clark County, 
  Nevada, for use as a shooting range. <<NOTE: Dec. 17, 2002 -  [H.R. 
                                2937]>> 

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY TO CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Las Vegas area has experienced such rapid growth in 
        the last few years that traditional locations for target 
        shooting are now too close to populated areas for safety;
            (2) there is a need to designate a centralized location in 
        the Las Vegas Valley where target shooters can practice safely; 
        and
            (3) a central facility is also needed for persons training 
        in the use of firearms, such as local law enforcement and 
        security personnel.

    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to provide a suitable location for the establishment of 
        a centralized shooting facility in the Las Vegas Valley; and
            (2) to provide the public with--
                    (A) opportunities for education and recreation; and
                    (B) a location for competitive events and 
                marksmanship training.

    (c) Conveyance.--As soon as practicable after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall convey to Clark County,

        requirements contained in subsection (c) of that section 
        pertaining to the management of wilderness study areas in a 
        manner that does not impair the suitability of such areas for 
        preservation as wilderness.
