SB 163: Revises provisions relating to bail. (BDR 14-725)

This bill changes Nevada's bail rules for defendants who commit new felonies while on release. If a defendant is convicted of a new felony during their bail period, their bail must be immediately revoked and they must remain in jail without the possibility of being released again before trial. It removes an existing procedure that sometimes allowed re-release after a new arrest for certain felonies. The bill directly affects defendants charged with new crimes while out on bail and requires courts to follow this mandatory process.

SB 361: Revises provisions relating to criminal procedure. (BDR 14-341)

SB 361 requires law enforcement to obtain a court-issued "tracking warrant" before accessing most location information from electronic devices (like smartphones) or unique identifiers (like account IDs), with limited exceptions for emergencies, stolen devices, or explicit consent. It prohibits using location data collected without a warrant as evidence in court and mandates that law enforcement provide a copy of the warrant and collected data to defendants at least 10 days before trial. The bill also requires law enforcement to apply for a warrant within 48 hours if they initially access location data without one during emergencies. This directly affects law enforcement agencies, electronic device users, and courts by establishing clear procedures for digital location data collection and evidence handling.

SB 259: Revises provisions relating to taxation. (BDR 32-703)

SB 259 revises Nevada's tax law to change how funds from a county-imposed 0.25% sales tax must be spent. It restricts the use of these funds to only programs reducing homelessness and building/maintaining public transit systems, effective October 1, 2025. The bill prohibits counties from using this tax revenue for early childhood education, adult education, truancy programs, affordable housing projects, teacher recruitment incentives, or hospitality workforce training. This directly affects counties and school districts that previously used these tax proceeds for the banned programs. The change applies to all tax revenue collected on or after the effective date.

SB 248: Revises provisions relating to education. (BDR 34-638)

SB 248 requires every public school in Nevada to create and maintain an electronic, publicly accessible list of all print and digital materials in its library and used in classroom curricula. The list must include each item's title, author, unique book code (ISBN), and be searchable and downloadable on the school's website. It covers all books, digital resources, and instructional materials used in teaching, but excludes academic tests and audiovisual content. This bill directly affects all public schools by mandating greater transparency about educational resources available to students and families.

SB 205: Revises provisions relating to the statewide voter registration list. (BDR 24-579)

SB 205 requires Nevada county clerks to **mandatory use U.S. Postal Service (USPS) address change data** to update the statewide voter registration list, replacing previous optional language. It directly affects **county election officials** and **registered voters who move** within Nevada, as clerks must now automatically correct voter addresses using USPS data. Key provisions include: requiring clerks to **publicly post online how many voters were removed** via this method, and mandating they **mail notices to voters before removing them** from the list. The law phases in full implementation by January 1, 2026, after immediate preparation steps. (Based on NRS 293.5303, 293.5307 amendments in SB 205)

SB 158: Revises provisions exempting certain work from the provisions governing the licensure and regulation of contractors. (BDR 54-960)

SB 158 increases the monetary threshold for work exempt from Nevada's contractor licensing requirements from $1,000 to $5,000, excluding the value of materials from this calculation. It directly affects homeowners performing minor repairs or maintenance (under $5,000 excluding materials) and small contractors who previously needed licenses for such work. Key provisions include raising the exemption limit and clarifying that material costs are not counted toward the threshold. This change reduces regulatory burden for smaller projects while maintaining exemptions for government work, licensed contractors, and other specified cases. The bill has no fiscal impact on state or local governments.

SB 261: Revises provisions relating to housing. (BDR 3-581)

SB 261 creates a new process for property owners to remove unlawful occupants who forcibly entered or detained a dwelling, bypassing standard court eviction procedures. Owners (or their authorized representatives) can submit a verified written complaint to the sheriff if the property wasn’t public at the time of entry, the occupant isn’t a tenant/family member/titleholder, and no related lawsuits exist. The sheriff must verify the complaint, serve a notice to vacate, and may charge fees for service or additional assistance. This applies specifically to residential dwellings and adds penalties for false statements on the required complaint form.

SB 40: Creates the Medicaid Health Care Workforce Account. (BDR 38-451)

SB 40 creates the Medicaid Health Care Workforce Account within Nevada's State General Fund to support healthcare workforce expansion. The account funds programs like graduate medical education, loan repayment for providers in shortage areas, and indirect medical education costs, using money that qualifies for federal matching under Medicaid. Administered by the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy, the account must cover its own administrative costs and prioritize projects eligible for federal funding. Funds in the account do not expire annually and carry forward to future fiscal years. This bill directly affects healthcare providers, training institutions, and Nevada residents in underserved areas by targeting workforce development through existing Medicaid funding mechanisms.

SB 436: Revises provisions relating to landlords and tenants. (BDR 10-514)

SB 436 requires landlords owning five or more properties in Nevada (or using a property manager) to register with a statewide Housing Division registry, which will include details like property addresses, rent amounts, and manager information. It mandates that tenants can file complaints online, with these posted publicly, and requires landlords to provide tenants with temporary, comparable housing or a hotel room at no cost within 24 hours if essential services (like heat or water) fail after written notice. Landlords must cover relocation costs (e.g., per diem, storage) but tenants still pay rent during the disruption. If repairs can't be completed within 60 days, landlords must notify tenants they can end the lease without penalty and return security deposits.

SB 360: Imposes requirements relating to the safety of hotels. (BDR 40-1034)

SB 360 requires large hotels (over 200 rooms) and resort hotels in Clark and Washoe Counties to provide daily room cleaning for occupied guest rooms and conduct visual safety inspections of those rooms every other day during a guest’s stay. The law mandates hotel operators to ensure these practices, with exceptions for guest opt-outs (noted in writing), emergencies, or government restrictions. It also prohibits retaliation against employees who report violations or raise safety concerns and authorizes health authorities to inspect hotels and impose fines up to $500 for initial violations. The bill applies to hotels serving the public in Nevada’s most populous counties, focusing on tangible safety and sanitation standards.

SB 355: Revises provisions governing partial abatements of taxes for certain renewable energy facilities. (BDR 58-939)

SB 355 modifies tax abatement rules for renewable energy facilities in Nevada, specifically targeting projects that incorporate agrivoltaics (agricultural activities under solar panels) or ecovoltaics (conservation activities under solar panels). The bill requires that at least 36% of a facility’s total area must be devoted to these systems during the abatement period to qualify for automatic approval. This eliminates the need for the Director of Energy and county commissioners to verify that financial benefits to the state exceed tax revenue losses or that the project aligns with economic development plans. The change directly affects renewable energy developers seeking tax relief who integrate these dual-use systems, streamlining approvals for qualifying projects.
