Revises provisions relating to the Legislative Department of the State Government. (BDR 17-880)

AB 252 creates a new Office of Ombudsman for Legislative Employees within Nevada's Legislative Counsel Bureau. This office directly assists state legislators' staff by helping them understand workplace rights, mediating conflicts (including equity issues), and providing information about support services - all while strictly protecting employee confidentiality. The bill requires the Legislative Commission to appoint an ombudsman who cannot serve as Deputy Director or disclose employee identities without permission. It also prohibits the ombudsman from lobbying or opposing legislation, ensuring neutrality in workplace support.
