Summary

This Nevada Assembly Joint Resolution urges the federal government to maintain its current moratorium on explosive nuclear weapons testing, which has been in place since 1992. The resolution expresses strong opposition to any resumption of underground nuclear testing at the Nevada National Security Site, citing serious health, environmental, and economic concerns including potential radioactive contamination of air and groundwater, earthquake-like tremors affecting Las Vegas, and risks to Nevada's tourism-dependent economy. As a formal statement of the Nevada Legislature's position, the resolution will be transmitted to the President, Vice President, Congressional leadership, and Nevada's Congressional delegation to communicate the state's stance that the U.S. should continue its commitment to the testing moratorium and avoid triggering a new nuclear arms race.
