SB 350 amends Nevada law to extend the time period for executing a death sentence. It changes the required timeframe from 60-90 days after judgment to 180-270 days for the initial execution warrant, and from 15-30 days for subsequent warrants to 180-270 days after the new warrant is issued (always counting from the latest appointed execution date). This procedural change directly affects death row inmates and the court process for scheduling executions, without altering who is eligible for the death penalty or the penalty itself. The bill makes no changes to the death penalty's application, only to the timing requirements for execution.
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.
SB 160 moves Nevada's Equal Rights Commission from the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation to the Office of the Attorney General. It requires the Attorney General to appoint five Commission members and an Administrator by July 1, 2025, with members mandated to represent diverse groups including race, disability, and gender identity. The bill updates Nevada's anti-discrimination laws to explicitly protect "protective hairstyles" (like braids and afros) and define "race" to include hair texture, while setting an 18-month deadline for resolving housing discrimination complaints. These changes affect the Commission's structure, appointment process, and enforcement of protections in housing, employment, and public accommodations.
SB 121 revises Nevada's rules for homeowners' associations (HOAs) in common-interest communities. It prohibits HOAs from requiring new homeowners to install full landscaping in back yards before 36 months after purchase (though a thin rock layer may be required after 18 months), bans late fees for the first 30 days past due, and stops HOAs from reporting past-due payments to credit agencies. The bill also prevents HOAs from charging for oil stains not on driveways and restricts parking bans for vehicles with commercial advertisements (excluding explicit content, which must be obscured). Additionally, it mandates HOAs to notify all owners of management agreement terminations via email and posted notice.
This bill changes labeling requirements for prescriptions of mifepristone, misoprostol, and their generic alternatives. It allows healthcare practices to list the practice name on prescription labels instead of the individual prescribing practitioner's name, upon the practitioner's request. This applies only to these specific medications and does not alter other prescription labeling rules. The change aims to simplify labeling while maintaining required safety information on the label.
AB 392 requires counties and county agencies to negotiate in good faith with tribal governments when entering agreements for shared services (like public safety or infrastructure) on tribal land. It mandates that such agreements must be "conditional," prohibiting tribal governments from waiving legal protections (sovereign immunity) and allowing counties to terminate agreements with 90 days’ written notice if tribes miss payments, fail to respond to requests, block access to tribal land, or create conflicting agreements. The bill directly affects tribal governments and county governing bodies in Nevada, updating existing laws (NRS 277.080-277.180) to ensure fairer collaboration. It becomes effective July 1, 2025, with no state-level fiscal impact.
AB 283 revises Nevada's summary eviction procedures for residential tenants (non-commercial properties) who miss rent payments or violate lease terms. It requires landlords to provide a written notice giving tenants 7 judicial days to pay rent or leave, after which landlords must file a court complaint within 30 days. Tenants then have 7 days to respond to court papers; if they don’t, the court can order eviction without a hearing. The bill also mandates courts to automatically seal eviction records for cases filed under these new procedures.
AB 217 prohibits Nevada school districts, public schools, and their employees from granting immigration officials (including federal, state, or local officers) access to school property or sharing student records without a court warrant. It also bans school police officers in Clark County from using chemical agents or stun devices on students during school activities or events. If such devices are used, schools must report the incident to the district board, which must investigate, determine if the use was justified, and review policies. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors.
AB 112 removes an exemption in Nevada law that previously allowed employers covered by union contracts to deny employees sick leave for family medical needs. The bill requires all private employers providing sick leave to permit employees to use it for family care, including those covered by collective bargaining agreements (union contracts), effective for new agreements or renewals after October 1, 2025. Existing union contracts signed before that date remain unaffected. The law also clarifies that employer obligations under union contracts or other policies providing better sick leave benefits remain unchanged. This directly affects unionized workers in Nevada private businesses regarding access to sick leave for family care.
AB 185 prevents homeowners' associations in residential communities (like condos) from banning licensed child care facilities operated by unit owners or tenants, unless lease terms prohibit it. It requires cities and counties to allow child care facilities in residential zoning districts without extra permits or stricter rules than those for homes. The bill also stops licensing standards from requiring outdoor play space for facilities in multi-unit buildings if they’re within one mile of a public park, school, or recreation area. These changes directly affect child care providers, homeowners' associations, and local governments managing zoning and licensing.
AB 44 prohibits businesses from manipulating the price of essential goods or services (like food, utilities, or healthcare) in Nevada if prices rise by at least the 5-year average annual increase for that category, as tracked by federal economic data. It defines prohibited "manipulation" as intentional price hikes not reflecting supply/demand, targeting practices like coordinated price-fixing. Key exceptions include transportation network companies, resort hotels, and lawful sales promotions. The bill was passed by Nevada’s legislature but vetoed by the Governor on June 5, 2025, so it did not become law.
SB 74 expands electronic ballot access, allowing any registered voter to use approved electronic transmission to request or cast a ballot if they cannot access their mail ballot or cannot travel to polls due to illness, disability, hospitalization, or sudden absence. It removes restrictions preventing major party candidates from changing voter registration information in another state during specific election periods. The bill also requires election notices to include candidate names, offices, and party affiliations, and updates declaration forms for independent candidates. These changes directly affect voters, candidates, and election officials by modifying ballot access, candidate eligibility, and public notice requirements.
