1-1 Section 1. Chapter 113
of NRS is hereby amended by adding thereto a
1-2 new section to read as
follows:
1-3 1. Before
the purchaser of a home or improved lot that is adjacent to
1-4 open
range signs a sales agreement, the seller shall, by separate written
1-5 document,
disclose to the purchaser information regarding grazing on
1-6 the open
range. The written document must contain a statement with the
1-7 following
language:
1-8 This
property is adjacent to open range on which livestock are
1-9 permitted
to graze or roam. Unless you construct a fence that will
1-10 prevent
livestock from entering this property, livestock may enter the
1-11 property
and you will not be entitled to collect damages because the
1-12 livestock
entered the property. Regardless of whether you construct
1-13 a fence,
it is unlawful to kill, maim or injure livestock that have
1-14 entered
this property.
1-15 2. The
seller shall retain a copy of the disclosure document that has
1-16 been
signed by the purchaser acknowledging the date of receipt by the
1-17 purchaser
of the original document.
1-18 3. As
used in this section, “open range” has the meaning ascribed to
1-19 it in
