AB 392 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to interlocal agreements and contracts with tribal governments. (BDR 22-1059)

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.
