Maddy summaryAB 266 requires Nevada's Department of Health and Human Services to post online accessible fact sheets about Medicaid breastfeeding coverage (including counseling, supplies, and lactation support) and a directory of community lactation services. It prohibits businesses classified as "public accommodations" from denying service to people breastfeeding their children or publishing conflicting notices, adding breastfeeding to existing anti-discrimination protections under Nevada law. The bill also mandates public education about lactation benefits and enables enforcement through the Nevada Equal Rights Commission, allowing victims to file complaints or civil actions for violations. This law directly affects breastfeeding individuals seeking services in public spaces like restaurants, stores, and healthcare facilities, and businesses serving the public.

Maddy summaryAB 380 revises Nevada's requirements for mobile crisis teams responding to 9-8-8 hotline calls. It removes previous restrictions that required teams to be based in specific jurisdictions or established only by law enforcement, EMS providers, or behavioral health agencies. Instead, teams must now include at least one behavioral health professional plus one law enforcement officer, EMS provider, or other qualified paraprofessional (like a community health worker or peer recovery specialist). The bill also adds liability protection for telecom providers related to the 9-8-8 system. This change expands flexibility in how mobile crisis teams are structured while maintaining core crisis response goals.
Maddy summaryAB 430 exempts businesses that exclusively provide payroll processing services from Nevada's money transmission licensing requirements. The bill removes payroll processing from the legal definition of "money transmission" in Nevada law, which had previously required these businesses to obtain a special license. It also repeals specific duties that were previously imposed on payroll processors under existing regulations. This change simplifies the regulatory process for payroll companies that operate solely in this service, eliminating an unnecessary licensing burden.
Maddy summaryAB 256 creates a state-appointed advisory group to study regional rail transit development across Nevada. The group must examine current transit systems, funding sources, and key stakeholders in regional communities (with specific focus on Clark and Washoe counties), and develop an actionable plan by July 2026. It requires the group to include labor union representatives, transit commissions, local government officials, and community experts. This procedural bill does not fund projects but mandates a report and recommendations for future legislative action.
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 summaryAB 81 exempts Nevada from federal law requiring seasonal time changes (daylight saving time). If enacted, Nevada would observe Pacific Standard Time year-round instead of switching clocks twice annually. This applies to all state agencies and local governments across Nevada. The exemption would take effect on July 1, 2025, under federal law (15 U.S.C. § 260a).
Maddy summaryAB 426 revises rules for large Nevada school districts (over 100,000 students, like Clark County) by requiring principals to share budget details with school leadership teams 3 days before voting, send meeting agendas to parents 3 working days in advance, and post documents online. It mandates that budget changes over $1,000 need approval from both the leadership team and a superintendent, and prohibits principals from serving on their own leadership teams. The bill also requires public input meetings when a principal vacancy occurs and sets rules for keeping leadership team members' roles open even if a child no longer attends the school. These changes directly affect school principals, leadership teams, parents, and district administrators in large school districts.
Maddy summarySB 96 designates January 27 of each year as "International Holocaust Remembrance Day" in Nevada, directly affecting all Nevada residents through state recognition. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging observance, specifically directing state entities, schools, and media to promote public awareness about the Holocaust and other historical genocides. Key provisions include formally adding this day to Nevada’s calendar of recognized observances and mandating the Governor’s proclamation to emphasize education and remembrance. The law builds on Nevada’s prior efforts, such as Assembly Bill 231 (2021), to improve genocide education in schools. This is a non-binding observance bill focused on commemoration and education, not regulatory change.
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.
