AB 356 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to collective bargaining agreements. (BDR 23-935)

AB 356 requires Nevada's Governor to include in the state budget any salary amounts agreed upon in collective bargaining agreements for state employees, unless impracticable, in which case a justification report must be submitted with the budget. It shortens negotiation deadlines (starting by April 1 instead of October 1 in even years), adjusts mediator request timelines, and moves arbitration decisions to September and December (from February and March). The bill also advances the Economic Forum's revenue report deadline from December 3 to November 15 each even year. These changes directly affect state employees covered by collective bargaining agreements and the Governor's budget process.

MODERATE
This bill updates the timeline for negotiating and resolving collective bargaining agreements for state employees to create a more predictable annual schedule. It shifts the start of negotiations from October to April, moves mediation requests to September, and advances arbitration deadlines to September and December. Additionally, it requires the Governor to include agreed-upon salary increases in the state budget whenever possible.
Scope change
The bill applies to all public employees in the classified service of the Executive Department of the State Government who are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
TIMELINE

Negotiations must now begin by April 1 of even-numbered years instead of October 1.

Parties can request mediation by September 5 instead of February 1.

Arbitration proceedings must start by September 15 instead of February 15.

Arbitrators must issue decisions by December 5 instead of March 5.

The deadline for the Economic Forum to submit its revenue projections was moved from December 3 to November 15.

REQUIREMENT

The Governor is now required to include agreed-upon salary amounts in the state budget if practicable, rather than having full discretion to exclude them.

The Governor must submit a written report to the Legislature explaining why it was impracticable to include agreed-upon salary amounts in the budget.
