1. When within a proposed irrigation
district there exists one or more tracts of land owned and used by the State of
Nevada for state purposes and susceptible of the same mode of irrigation or
taking water for irrigation from the same source, system or combined systems as
other privately owned lands within the proposed district, the Governor, with
the advice of the State Engineer, may sign any petition for the organization of
such irrigation district.
2. Should such irrigation district be
thereafter organized in accordance with the provisions of law, such lands so
belonging to the State of Nevada shall be subject to the same rights,
privileges and obligations as are or may be belonging to or imposed on the
privately owned lands within the district, and in this respect and for the
purposes of carrying out the provisions of this chapter the heads of
departments or the commissions or boards having supervision or control of the
state institution to which such tracts or units of land are attached, for
supervisory purposes, shall include in their report and biennial budget for
submission to the Governor and Legislature such items or amounts as may from
time to time become an obligation on the lands of the district.
