SB 200 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes, under certain circumstances, the reimbursement of costs incurred by certain counties related to certain activities that are subject to the excise tax on live entertainment. (BDR 32-115)

SB 200 allows counties with populations under 9,000 (like Esmeralda, Eureka, and Storey) to seek reimbursement from the state for costs incurred when hosting large, tax-exempt live entertainment events. Specifically, if a nonprofit religious or charitable organization holds an event with 15,000+ tickets in one of these counties, the county can apply for reimbursement of direct costs (e.g., security, permits) related to the event. The bill sets clear limits: counties cannot claim costs already paid by the event organizer, indirect costs are capped at 20% of direct costs, and total annual reimbursement cannot exceed $750,000. Applications must be submitted within 90 days after the event and reviewed by the Department of Taxation before approval by the Nevada Tax Commission.
