SB 9 creates "crime corridors" in Clark County (Nevada's only county with over 700,000 residents) where specific misdemeanor offenses trigger entry bans. It requires county commissioners to define high-risk tourist/visitor areas, then mandates that individuals convicted of a first misdemeanor offense in such a corridor face a one-year entry ban, with mandatory bans for second offenses within two years. Courts in these areas must establish specialized programs to handle these cases, including diversion options to lift bans upon completion. The bill also requires monthly and annual reports from courts to county commissioners and the legislature detailing crime data, offender outcomes, and corridor activity - while protecting individual privacy.
AB 383-82, the Right to Reproductive Health Care Act, prohibits state and local governments from blocking access to reproductive health services, including contraception, abortion care, and related information. It allows individuals or providers to sue if their access is restricted and requires courts to award damages and legal fees for violations. The bill expands Medicaid coverage to include male sterilization, translation services for contraceptive care, and clinical services related to contraception, with equal reimbursement for non-physician providers. It applies to all state and local laws affecting reproductive health services and mandates specific Medicaid coverage requirements for contraceptive care.
AB 319 appropriates $43 million from the State General Fund to the Department of Agriculture to provide grants to Nevada school districts for universal free breakfast and lunch for all Nevada pupils. The funding must be spent by September 19, 2025, with unspent balances reverting to the State General Fund. This bill directly affects Nevada public school districts and their students by establishing a state-funded meal program. The program becomes effective July 1, 2024.
AB 218 requires Nevada landlords to provide at least one free rent payment method that doesn’t require tenants to share bank details or pay extra fees for using it. It prohibits landlords from charging tenants more for online payments than the fee charged by the payment service provider. The bill mandates rental agreements to list the total rent (including mandatory fees) as a single amount and separately identify any online payment fees. Tenants can sue landlords who violate these rules, directly affecting landlords and renters in Nevada housing.
AB 340-82 revises Nevada's summary eviction procedures for residential tenants (non-commercial properties) who default on rent or face unlawful detainer charges. It replaces old notice and filing requirements with a streamlined process: landlords must first serve a written notice detailing payment/surrender deadlines, then file an affidavit of complaint after the notice period. Tenants now have 7 calendar days to file an answer after receiving the notice and summons; if they don’t, courts can order removal without a hearing. The bill also removes automatic court file sealing during the COVID-19 emergency but requires sealing for certain new eviction cases under the revised process. These changes apply directly to landlords and residential tenants navigating eviction proceedings.
This bill (IP 1) removes strike prohibitions for certain licensed Nevada teachers and educational staff. It specifically applies to:
1) Teachers spending ≥50% of their time instructing students,
2) Instructional support staff (like librarians) not in supervision roles, and
3) School counselors/nurses spending ≥50% of time on student support.
The law changes existing rules to allow these employees to strike, which was previously banned under Nevada law for public-sector workers. It directly affects school districts, teachers, and their unions in Nevada.
SB 76-82 prohibits the sale and distribution of certain products containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals (commonly used for stain/water resistance) starting October 1, 2024. It directly affects manufacturers and retailers of carpets, food packaging, cosmetics, juvenile products, and indoor furnishings like upholstered furniture. The bill requires cookware manufacturers to label products containing PFAS with specific information and an online resource, while allowing a "NO PFAS" label for products without these chemicals. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors. This law aims to reduce consumer exposure to these persistent chemicals through clear labeling and product restrictions.
SB 78-82 updates landlord-tenant rules for property leases in Nevada. It requires rental agreements to include a grace period before late rent fees apply (Section 12), prohibits landlords from charging fees not listed in a separate appendix explaining each fee’s purpose (Section 12), and revises security deposit rules to mandate itemized accounting for deductions (Section 15). The bill also updates the definition of "normal wear" to mean expected deterioration from regular use (Section 11) and bans fees not authorized by law or deemed unreasonable (Section 14). These changes directly affect landlords and tenants by increasing transparency around fees, security deposits, and late charges.
SB 60-82 revises Nevada campaign finance rules by requiring "inaugural committees" (groups organizing transitions for newly elected constitutional officers) to report contributions over $1,000. It also mandates candidates elected to constitutional offices (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Controller, and Attorney General) to disclose transition-related contributions and expenditures. The bill explicitly prohibits foreign nationals from contributing to or committing to contribute to inaugural committees. These provisions aim to increase transparency around funding for election transitions while aligning with existing campaign finance reporting requirements.
SB 88-82 requires Nevada's Joint Interim Committee on Natural Resources to study state agencies regulating natural resources during the 2023-2024 legislative interim. The committee must examine the structure, mission, and scope of specific agencies, including the Board of Wildlife Commissioners, Commission on Mineral Resources, State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and State Environmental Commission. The committee must submit findings and legislative recommendations to the 83rd Nevada Legislature by the end of the interim period. This is a procedural study bill with no direct regulatory changes to existing laws.
SB 81-82 extends and revises Nevada's regional planning requirements for Carson City, Douglas County, Lyon County, Storey County, and Washoe County. It requires these counties and their cities to meet annually (by December 1 each year through 2026) to identify growth-related issues - such as transportation, land use, and public services - and prepare joint reports with recommendations to address negative impacts. The bill also mandates that county representatives and legislators meet at least twice yearly (2024-2027) to discuss regional growth management. These provisions directly affect the five counties and their cities, focusing on collaborative planning for rapid population and economic development in their shared northwestern Nevada region.
SB 104-82 revises Nevada's traffic violation laws to remove courts' authority to suspend driver's licenses for unpaid fines, fees, or assessments related to traffic civil infractions. It requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to immediately reinstate licenses or permit license applications for individuals suspended due to such unpaid amounts, without charging fees or requiring medical exams. The bill also clarifies that traffic violations punishable as civil infractions are excluded from juvenile court jurisdiction, directing these cases to justice or municipal courts regardless of the offender's age. Additionally, it updates citation requirements to include dispute resolution program details and extends the response deadline for civil infraction citations from 90 days after issuance to 90 days after filing with the court.
