Revises provisions relating to local governments. (BDR 20-969)

SB 289 authorizes county commissioners and city governing bodies to create local rules supporting affordable housing, removing previous restrictions. It directly affects local governments across Nevada by expanding their authority to address housing needs through ordinances or measures, except where state law explicitly prohibits it. The bill amends Nevada Revised Statutes to clarify that local entities may act on affordable housing matters without needing specific state permission. This change takes effect on July 1, 2025, with no expected fiscal impact on state or local budgets.
