AB 530 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the imposition by certain counties of additional taxes on fuels for motor vehicles. (BDR 32-783)

AB 530 changes how Clark County (the only Nevada county with over 700,000 residents) can increase fuel taxes. Currently, voters must approve annual tax hikes after 2026; this bill replaces that requirement with a simpler process allowing the county commission to approve continued increases via a two-thirds ordinance by December 31, 2026. If the commission fails to act by that date, no further tax increases are permitted. The voter approval requirement returns for 2037 and beyond. The bill directly affects Clark County residents through their motor vehicle fuel costs.

MINOR
This bill amends the rules for how Nevada's largest counties can raise fuel taxes for road construction. It replaces a requirement for a public vote with a rule allowing the county board to continue raising taxes by passing an internal ordinance. Additionally, it extends the timeline for the next public vote required to approve future tax increases.
Scope change
The bill maintains the same scope of applying to counties with populations of 700,000 or more but changes the mechanism for authorizing tax increases from a public vote to a board decision.
REQUIREMENT

Replaced the requirement for a majority voter approval to continue annual tax increases with a requirement for a two-thirds board majority to adopt an ordinance.

Changed the trigger for the next public vote from the start of 2027 to the start of 2037, aligning the voter referendum with the new extended timeline.

TIMELINE

Extended the deadline for the next public vote on tax increases from November 2026 to November 2036, delaying the next potential voter referendum by a decade.
