SB 454 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing the State Highway Fund. (BDR 35-1128)

SB 454 extends a temporary provision allowing Nevada to use up to 27% of vehicle-related fees (like license and registration fees) for administrative costs of the State Highway Fund, instead of the usual 22%. This extension applies from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2027, rather than ending in 2026. The bill does not change where highway funds are spent - proceeds still must go exclusively to highway construction, maintenance, and repair. It directly affects how Nevada manages its highway fund budget, allowing more flexibility for administrative expenses during this extended period.
