Revises provisions relating to state financing. (BDR 31-789)
SB 162 requires any organization receiving Nevada state funds to agree to comply with applicable civil rights and employment laws, including protections against retaliation for employees reporting violations. This applies to all entities accepting state money - such as contractors, nonprofits, or local governments - but excludes funds received from the federal government for federal programs. The bill makes compliance automatic upon accepting state funds, with no separate agreement needed. It specifically covers laws like the federal Civil Rights Act, ADA, Age Discrimination Act, and Nevada’s anti-discrimination statutes (NRS 613.310-613.4383).
