Senator Cannizzaro secures waiver for Senate Bill 460 on education provisions

The Nevada State Legislature convened on April 29, 2025, to address several key legislative matters, including the approval of a waiver and the introduction of new bills.

Senator Nicole J. Cannizzaro, the Senate Majority Leader, successfully requested a waiver for BDR 34 16, known as Senate Bill 460. This waiver allows for the bypassing of specific joint standing rules, which facilitates the bill's progression through the legislative process. The waiver was granted effective immediately, marking a significant step in the bill's advancement.

During the session, Senator Scheibel moved to accredit certain individuals as press members, allowing them access to media facilities within the legislative building. The motion was approved unanimously, ensuring that media representatives can cover legislative activities.

Senate Bill 460, introduced by Senators Cannizzaro, Dundera Loop, Piseno, Deontay, Neal, Orange, and Shaw, aims to revise provisions related to education. Senator Cannizzaro moved to refer the bill to the Committee on Education, and there were no objections to this referral.

Additionally, Assembly Bill 201, introduced by Assemblymember Roth, seeks to revise provisions concerning the sealing of certain records and has been referred to the judiciary. Assembly Bill 202, presented by Assemblymember Brown May, focuses on claims for dental care.

The session concluded with these significant legislative actions, setting the stage for further discussions and developments in the coming weeks.
