SJR 5 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to enact various government reforms. (BDR C-223)

SJR 5 proposes a constitutional amendment to implement several government transparency and ethics reforms in Nevada. It requires bills to be posted online for 72 hours before voting, extends public records access to the Legislature (with limited exceptions like personnel files), and creates a Political Practices Enforcement Commission to oversee campaign finance, ethics, and lobbying rules. The Commission would enforce these laws, maintain public databases, provide training, and collect fines to fund its operations. These changes directly affect Nevada legislators, candidates, lobbyists, and public officials by subjecting them to standardized ethics and transparency requirements.
