SB 499 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to state financial administration. (BDR 26-1237)

SB 499 expands Nevada state agencies' authority to lease state-owned residential properties below market value to employees when it benefits the state (not just when residence is mandatory), requires separate accounting for rent collected, and prevents unspent lease revenue from reverting to the general fund. It creates an Out-of-State Fire Suppression Account with $27.36 million to cover Nevada’s costs for fighting fires outside state borders, with funds carried forward annually. The bill also mandates separate accounting for special permit fees related to forest protection and prevents unspent funds from reverting to the general fund. The bill was enacted into law on June 5, 2025 (Chapter 363).

MINOR
This bill finalizes the text of SB 499 by removing draft markings and adding the official 'As Enrolled' language required for passage. It codifies authority to lease state housing at below-market rates to employees who must live in state housing, creates a dedicated account for out-of-state fire suppression costs, and mandates that unspent funds in these accounts carry forward to the next fiscal year instead of reverting to the general fund.
Scope change
The bill's scope is now finalized and ready for signature; the substantive policy scope regarding housing leases, fire suppression funding, and forestry accounts remains consistent with the previous version.
TECHNICAL

Removed draft headers, page numbers, and explanatory notes indicating this was a 'Reprint' version.

Added the formal 'As Enrolled' preamble and session information required for a bill to become law.

Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest and bill text to match the final enrolled format, replacing line numbers and summary boxes with continuous text.
