Sen. Robin Titus

Maddy summaryThis resolution prohibits Senate members and leadership (including the President Pro Tempore, Majority Leader, Minority Leader, and committee chairs) from receiving allowances for office supplies (periodicals, stamps, stationery) or communications costs (postage, phone tolls) during Nevada's 36th Special Session. It directly affects legislative staff expenses for the session, eliminating payments for these specific operational costs. The resolution became effective upon adoption on November 15, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis resolution (SR 3) formally recognizes the appointment of specific staff members to serve the Nevada Senate during its 36th Special Session. It lists 16 individuals, including Annette M. Biamonte and Eddie Cordisco Jr., as the duly-appointed Senate staff. The resolution has no policy impact; it simply documents the Senate's administrative staffing for the session. It directly affects the Senate's internal operations by confirming these staff roles. (Procedural resolution; 1 sentence summary provided.)

Maddy summaryThis resolution adopts the procedural rules for Nevada's 36th Special Session of the Senate, establishing how the chamber will operate during this specific session. It defines the duties of Senate officers (including the President, Secretary, and Sergeant at Arms), sets guidelines for meetings, decorum, and handling absences, and specifies that these rules apply only to the special session. The resolution does not create new policy or affect any substantive laws; it solely governs the Senate's internal operations during this session.

Maddy summarySB 280 appropriates $2.9 million from the State General Fund to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine to create a dedicated cleft and craniofacial medical team. The team must provide dental and medical care to children under 3 years old, and potentially children with special needs aged 3-18, through clinics open at least 4 hours per day, one day monthly (or more if resources allow). The bill requires the team to obtain accreditation from the American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association and establish partnerships with other Nevada educational institutions. All funds must be spent by September 17, 2027, with unused amounts reverting to the State General Fund. This bill directly affects children in Nevada with cleft lip/palate or craniofacial conditions who would access these new services.

Maddy summaryAB 415 updates Nevada's rules for handling abandoned vehicles. It raises the value threshold for issuing a junk certificate from $200 to $500 and allows property owners or law enforcement to place a 5-day notice on unregistered abandoned vehicles with unknown owners, which exempts them from having to identify the owner or send removal notices. The bill also requires tow operators to wait 48 hours after storage before disposing of such vehicles and prohibits them from falsely reporting their location to law enforcement to secure towing jobs. These changes primarily affect tow operators, property owners, and law enforcement agencies dealing with abandoned vehicles.

Maddy summaryAB 92 requires public buildings (owned by state/local governments) to provide free access to rooms or spaces for major political parties' state or county central committees during presidential election years for any purpose. For non-presidential years, it mandates free access specifically for precinct meetings (where parties elect convention delegates) and reasonable rates (capped at what other groups pay) for other uses. The bill directly affects major political parties' central committees by guaranteeing access to public facilities for organizing. This reinstates a provision repealed in 2021 and takes effect July 1, 2025.

Maddy summarySB 108 raises the threshold for requesting backup funds from Nevada’s Contingency Account from $250,000 to $500,000 when the river maintenance fund balance falls short. It specifies that only money not already committed to specific projects counts toward this balance. The bill directly affects cities, counties, and tribal governments receiving grants for river clearance, maintenance, restoration, surveying, and monumenting projects. This change aims to provide more stable funding for these local projects by requiring a larger shortfall before accessing emergency funds. The bill passed unanimously and takes effect July 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryAB 394 requires all public colleges and universities in Nevada to create emergency response plans for opioid overdoses. These plans must include education about opioid overdoses and procedures for easily accessing naloxone (a medication that reverses overdoses), while prohibiting any requirement for training before obtaining or using naloxone. The bill allows institutions to customize their plans (e.g., training methods, naloxone locations) but mandates core elements like rescue breathing emphasis and 4mg naloxone dosing. The Board of Regents may provide a model plan for guidance but cannot force institutions to adopt it.

Maddy summarySB 316 regulates pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), the companies that manage prescription drug coverage for insurers. It prohibits PBMs from steering patients to affiliated pharmacies, requiring them to disclose fees and rebates to insurers, and mandating that PBMs pass all rebates to insurers. Insurers must then use these rebate funds exclusively to lower premiums or reduce patient cost-sharing for prescriptions, and cannot charge patients more than the insurer pays for a drug. This directly affects PBMs, health insurers, and patients by increasing transparency and reducing out-of-pocket costs.

Maddy summarySB 232 appropriates $750,000 from the State General Fund to the Evans-Kendall Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8071 for constructing a veterans and community center in Virginia City, Nevada. The bill requires the VFW post to submit two reports detailing how the funds are spent - by December 2026 and September 2027 - to the Interim Finance Committee. Any unspent funds must be returned to the State General Fund by September 17, 2027. This bill directly affects the Evans-Kendall VFW Post 8071 and benefits veterans and community members in Virginia City.
