The Nevada State Legislative Committee for the Review and Oversight of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) and the Marlette Lake Water System will hold its first meeting of the 2026 interim session Friday, Jan. 23 at 1 p.m. at the Nevada Legislative Building in Carson City, Nev.

The committee, comprised of eight state legislators, holds meetings every other year during interim sessions to discuss the work of TRPA, the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program (EIP), and Nevada state agencies in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The committee may also sponsor legislation to protect Lake Tahoe and the Marlette Lake Water System, and address challenges and community concerns raised during the interim session.

“We’re grateful to past and present members of the oversight committee for their guidance of TRPA and our partners and for their ardent support for Lake Tahoe in the legislature,” TRPA Executive Director Julie Regan said. “Lake Tahoe is facing many ongoing challenges and new threats that require collaboration that this body is helping to grow.”

At the conclusion of the 83^rd Nevada Legislative Session in 2025, six committee bills became law. Collectively, the six bills include funding and support for environmental restoration projects, forest health and wildfire safety, transportation improvements, and Nevada State Park operations updates.

The January committee meeting is the first of six meetings scheduled through August 2026. At the first meeting, TRPA, state agencies, and local governments will provide informative updates to the committee on priority topics including transportation, aquatic invasive species, forest health and wildfire, housing, economic development, and more. The remaining committee meetings will dive deeper into each of these topics.

Members of the public are welcome to attend in person or online and to provide input in writing or during scheduled public comment times.

Meeting information: Jan. 23, 2026, Room 4100, Nevada Legislative Building, Carson City, Nev.
