Revises provisions relating to public employees. (BDR 23-562)
SB 410 amends Nevada law to explicitly require local government employers (like cities, counties, and school districts) to negotiate insurance benefits that cover employees' dependents as part of collective bargaining agreements. This change directly affects public employees in local government workplaces, ensuring dependent coverage is included in the mandatory bargaining subjects. The bill revises NRS 288.150 by adding "without limitation" to specify that insurance benefits must include coverage for dependents, clarifying previous ambiguity. This is a concrete policy adjustment to the bargaining process, not a new benefit or procedural change.
