Maddy summarySCR 4 declares April 2025 as Financial Literacy Month in Nevada to raise public awareness about financial capability. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or programs; it simply recognizes the importance of financial literacy for Nevada residents. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit it to state officials, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and financial industry groups. It follows Nevada's prior legislative efforts to support financial education in schools but has no direct policy impact on individuals or institutions.

Maddy summaryAB 382 requires health insurers in Nevada to cover biomarker testing for the diagnosis, treatment, management, or ongoing monitoring of *any* medical condition or disease when supported by medical evidence - expanding coverage beyond the previous limitation to cancer-related testing. It removes the prior requirement that coverage be deemed "medically necessary" and mandates insurers to: (1) cover such testing without prior authorization delays (24 hours for urgent requests, 72 hours otherwise), (2) establish clear appeal processes for denied coverage, and (3) publish these processes online. The bill directly affects all public and private health plans (including Medicaid and state employee plans) and their insured patients seeking biomarker testing for non-cancer conditions. Coverage remains limited to tests supported by evidence like FDA approvals, clinical guidelines, or national coverage determinations, excluding screening or tests outside a provider’s scope.

Maddy summaryACR 3 is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Nevada Legislature to honor the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on its 50th anniversary. The resolution expresses gratitude for NCSL's role in supporting state legislators, fostering bipartisan cooperation, and strengthening state-federal legislative relationships over five decades. It has no policy impact or direct effect on residents, government operations, or funding. The Nevada Assembly and Senate formally adopted the resolution on March 27, 2025, with a copy to be sent to NCSL's leadership. This is a symbolic gesture, not a policy change.

Maddy summarySCR 1 is a memorial resolution honoring Kathleen "Neena" Laxalt, a longtime Nevada lobbyist and community advocate. It expresses the Nevada Legislature's condolences to her family and commemorates her 25+ years of service in Nevada government, including her work on agriculture, ranching, Native American community issues, and her mentorship of women in advocacy. The resolution has no policy impact - it solely serves to recognize her legacy and contributions. It was formally adopted by both legislative chambers in February 2025.
