Provides for health notes to be requested and prepared for certain legislative measures by the Research Division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau. (BDR 17-512)
SB 247 requires Nevada's Legislative Counsel Bureau Research Division to prepare nonpartisan "health notes" for bills or joint resolutions upon request by any legislator. These notes analyze whether a bill may disproportionately impact the social determinants of health (such as housing, education, or healthcare access) for racial/ethnic minorities, low-income communities, seniors, or children. The bill mandates state and local agencies to assist in preparing these notes and protects all related information as confidential and privileged. It does not alter existing laws but adds a new research requirement for legislative review.
