Maddy summaryAJR 14 is a Nevada legislative resolution condemning the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack and criticizing the use of presidential pardons to absolve participants. It specifically denounces President Trump’s pardons and commutations granted on January 20, 2025, for those involved in the riot, including assaults on law enforcement officers. The resolution directs Nevada’s legislature to formally condemn the attack and send copies to the President, U.S. Senate and House leaders, and Nevada’s congressional delegation. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or impose costs but serves as a symbolic statement of opposition to pardoning Capitol rioters.

Maddy summaryAJR 7 proposes amending the Nevada Constitution to establish a Citizens’ Commission that would set salaries and benefits for specific elected officials, including state legislators, the governor, lieutenant governor, and other constitutional officers. The Commission, composed of seven members with diverse backgrounds (including public interest, business, and labor representation), would determine compensation annually based on duties and market comparisons, with a 15% cap on annual changes. It would replace the current legislative authority to set these salaries, requiring the Commission to file initial and subsequent schedules by January 1, 2029, and every odd-numbered year thereafter. This change directly affects the compensation structure for these elected officials without altering existing fiscal impacts on state or local government.

Maddy summarySCR 4 declares April 2025 as Financial Literacy Month in Nevada to raise public awareness about financial capability. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or programs; it simply recognizes the importance of financial literacy for Nevada residents. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit it to state officials, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and financial industry groups. It follows Nevada's prior legislative efforts to support financial education in schools but has no direct policy impact on individuals or institutions.

Maddy summaryAB 393 prohibits hospitals and psychiatric hospitals from employing physicians to practice medicine, homeopathic medicine, or osteopathic medicine, except for two specific cases: physicians in approved graduate medical training programs or in state-owned hospitals. The bill applies penalties including license suspension or daily fines up to $5,000 for violations. It explicitly exempts religious facilities (operated by churches) and federal facilities from these rules, maintaining existing exemptions. The law updates licensing enforcement by allowing health authorities to impose these penalties directly.

Maddy summaryAB 374 requires Nevada public school districts and charter schools to provide monthly mental health workshops for all kindergarten through 12th grade students. School counselors, psychologists, or social workers must develop age-appropriate sessions covering positive mental health promotion, addressing individual student needs, and offering academic performance feedback. Workshops must occur during school hours at least once per month. The law applies to all public schools and takes effect July 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryAB 170 creates new limited licenses for "associate physicians" and "associate osteopathic physicians" in Nevada, directly affecting recent medical school graduates who have completed at least one year of residency but lack full licensure. The bill establishes strict supervision requirements: associates must practice under a licensed physician's oversight via a formal agreement, with supervisors required to be on-site for the first 30 days and always available in counties under 100,000 population. Associates may prescribe certain controlled substances under defined conditions and must be billed as physician assistants for services. The law clarifies that associates operate under distinct rules from standard physicians, with supervision limits (max three associates per supervisor) and specific billing, notification, and malpractice insurance provisions.

Maddy summaryACR 3 is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Nevada Legislature to honor the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on its 50th anniversary. The resolution expresses gratitude for NCSL's role in supporting state legislators, fostering bipartisan cooperation, and strengthening state-federal legislative relationships over five decades. It has no policy impact or direct effect on residents, government operations, or funding. The Nevada Assembly and Senate formally adopted the resolution on March 27, 2025, with a copy to be sent to NCSL's leadership. This is a symbolic gesture, not a policy change.

Maddy summarySCR 1 is a memorial resolution honoring Kathleen "Neena" Laxalt, a longtime Nevada lobbyist and community advocate. It expresses the Nevada Legislature's condolences to her family and commemorates her 25+ years of service in Nevada government, including her work on agriculture, ranching, Native American community issues, and her mentorship of women in advocacy. The resolution has no policy impact - it solely serves to recognize her legacy and contributions. It was formally adopted by both legislative chambers in February 2025.
