AB 256 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Directs the Legislative Commission to appoint a Regional Rail Transit Advisory Working Group to conduct an interim study relating to regional rail transit. (BDR S-614)

AB 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.
