Revises provisions relating to governmental administration. (BDR 19-918)
SB 265 requires Nevada state and local government agencies to collect race and ethnicity data using a single question with specific subcategories for Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander individuals. Agencies must offer options like Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, or other subcategories, while keeping all personally identifiable information confidential. The bill mandates that agencies publish aggregated data online and include it in demographic reports, and prohibits denying services to anyone who declines to provide this information. This affects agencies collecting such data, including those in criminal justice, social services, and health programs.
