SB 340 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to governmental administration. (BDR 18-1008)

SB 340 updates Nevada's process for legislative review of state agency regulations. It allows individuals or agencies to petition the Legislative Commission to stop or cancel regulations that exceed legal authority, conflict with legislative intent, or are misapplied. Courts can also refer regulatory disputes to the Commission for review. The bill explicitly prohibits courts from reviewing the Commission's decisions on these petitions. This clarifies how Nevada's Legislature exercises its constitutionally granted power to oversee agency rules.
