SB 334 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the employment of offenders. (BDR 16-1115)

SB 334 requires offenders in correctional employment programs to be paid a progressively increasing percentage of the state minimum wage, reaching full minimum wage by July 1, 2029. It also mandates that wages for offenders in conservation camps must equal or exceed the state minimum wage starting in 2029. The bill requires the Legislative Auditor to conduct annual audits from 2025 to 2029 to ensure compliance with these wage standards. This directly affects offenders working in state correctional facilities and conservation camps, as well as state agencies managing these employment programs.
