Skip Daley presented Senate Bill 340 to the Assembly Committee on Government Affairs, describing the bill as a measure to clarify how disputes over agency regulatory authority and legislative intent are resolved in Nevada after recent changes in federal administrative law. Daley said the proposal would allow the Legislative Commission to review disputes brought either directly to it or referred by a court, and that the Legislative Commission’s determination would not be subject to judicial review in those limited instances.

\"The Nevada Supreme Court has held, and this is their quote, courts should not substitute their own construction of a statutory provision for a reasonable interpretation made by an agency,\" Daley said. He explained that after the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent shift away from Chevron deference at the federal level, state law faces increased uncertainty and SB 340 is intended to preserve Nevada’s constitutional processes by giving the legislature (through the Legislative Commission) a role to interpret legislative intent and regulatory authority when a dispute arises.

Daley described procedural provisions in the draft bill: a process for a person to petition the Legislative Commission, conforming changes to judicial declaratory-judgment procedures, and requirements that documents accompanying emergency regulations include written gubernatorial endorsement. He emphasized that the Legislative Commission could only review disputes submitted to it and could not \"go fishing.\" He also said that a determination made by the Legislative Commission would not be subject to judicial review.

Opposition testimony came from Alexis (Nevada chapter, Associated General Contractors), who said SB 340 \"gives too much authority to the legislative branch\" and \"takes away judicial review,\" warning that the change could violate separation of powers and compromise balance and fairness in the regulatory process. Committee members asked questions about safeguards and whether determinations would be subject to review; the sponsor clarified the bill’s limited scope and that the Legislative Commission would act only on disputes submitted for review or referred by the court.

No callers were recorded in support during the hearing. The committee closed the hearing after questions and final remarks by the sponsor.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5/8/2025 - Assembly Committee on Government Affairs","oneSentenceSummary","Sen.

Skip Daley presented Senate Bill 319 to the Assembly Committee on Government Affairs, describing a pared-down first reprint that requires an interlocal agreement among Reno, Sparks and Washoe County to study possible regionalization or consolidation of fire services and to report recommendations, including potential implementation legislation.

The sponsor said the three governing bodies are in agreement that regionalization should be evaluated and that the amended bill extends the target date for the study’s report to Dec. 31, 2026 (it had originally set July 2026). \"The three governing bodies have to pay any expenses associated with the study,\" Daley said.

Local fire leaders appeared in support. Dale Way, interim chief of the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District, said the additional time to complete the study was essential. Walter White, fire chief for the City of Sparks, and David Cochran, chief of the Reno Fire Department, also supported the study. Cochran said from an operational standpoint a regional department can be \"the most effective, efficient way\" to provide fire services but added the challenges are governance and financing and expressed hope the study would address those issues.

Todd Inglesby, president of Professional Firefighters Nevada, testified in support and said the study would benefit members and the public. Thomas Daly, a retired fire protection consultant testifying in opposition, said multiple prior expert reports had not recommended consolidation, called the study an unfunded mandate and estimated the study could cost local jurisdictions at least $100,000. Daly urged the committee to let local jurisdictions continue working on dispatch consolidation and automatic aid instead of mandating another study.

Daley replied that local jurisdictions have cooperated in the past, that barriers to cooperation (for example, differences in crew sizes and bargaining agreements) have changed, and that the three agencies now want to evaluate whether a more integrated governance structure would improve service and efficiency. He said the bill is intended to be the first step and that if the study’s recommendations favor regionalization, implementing legislation could be pursued in the next session.

The hearing record shows support and opposition testimony on the record; the committee closed the hearing after final remarks by the sponsor.","Sen.

The committee took formal action on Senate Concurrent Resolution 2 and four bills, assigning floor statements and forwarding the measures to the next stage of the legislative process.

SCR 2: The committee amended and moved to do pass Senate Concurrent Resolution 2, which recognizes the Fruit Loop as a historical LGBTQ+ landmark in Clark County, urges Nevada Department of Transportation to install directional signs to the Fruit Loop location in Las Vegas, and encourages the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and the Division of Tourism to produce materials documenting its cultural and historical significance. Several members voiced concern that the term “Fruit Loop” could be perceived as a slur and that such recognitions might be handled at the local level; Assemblymembers DeLong, Kasama and Gurr recorded nay positions during the roll call for the motion to amend and do pass. Vice Chair Wynne made the motion; Assemblymember Carter seconded. The motion carried.

AB 188: The committee amended and moved to do pass Assembly Bill 188, which makes multiple changes to the Public Employees' Benefits Program (PEBB). Among other provisions, AB 188 (as amended) clarifies eligibility for health and welfare subsidies for persons hired on or after Jan. 1, 2012; requires PEBB to report typical full costs for actuarially comparable retiree health insurance to the governor and legislature; limits certain board actions regarding health reimbursement arrangements; and revises reinstatement rules for retiree insurance coverage. Assemblymember Carter moved the measure; Vice Chair Wynne seconded. Assemblymembers DeLong, Gurr, Kasama, Gallant and Edgeworth recorded nay positions on the motion; the committee carried the motion forward and assigned a floor statement.

SB 15: The committee amended and moved to do pass Senate Bill 15, which revises several government administration provisions. Key changes include removing a statutory requirement that debt management commissions hold their annual meeting in August; revising timing language in notices of delinquent taxes and in procedures for property reconveyance and quick-claim deeds so that actions may occur up to the close of business rather than a specific 5:00 p.m. time; and clarifying county treasurer office hours so offices may not close earlier than 5:00 p.m. and may close later. Assemblymember Hunt moved the measure and Assemblymember DeLong seconded; the motion passed without recorded opposition in committee and a floor statement was assigned.

SB 27: The committee amended and moved to do pass Senate Bill 27, which revises names of two museums within the Division of Museums and History, and adjusts board powers and duties so that the division administrator, rather than the board alone, will have authority regarding certain programs and policies. The committee adopted an amendment to clarify how museum fees and policies are established. Vice Chair Wynne moved the measure; Assemblymember Carter seconded. Assemblymember Kasama indicated support in committee but reserved objections for the floor regarding certain fees; the committee motion passed and a floor statement was assigned.

SB 358: The committee amended and moved to do pass Senate Bill 358, which requires certain units of state and local government to accept a range of electronic and card-based forms of payment from business entities for fees, taxes and other debts. The Vegas Chamber and Clark County proposed an amendment clarifying that the list of acceptable payment forms is illustrative and not necessarily exclusive. Assemblymember Flanagan moved the measure; Assemblymember Karas seconded. The motion passed and a floor statement was assigned.

All measures discussed in the work session were described on the record by the committee’s nonpartisan policy analyst and had been previously heard by the committee on dates noted in the hearing record. Floor statements were assigned to committee members to present the committee’s work in the next chamber stage. No final chamber enactment occurs in committee; the motions forwarded the measures for further consideration.

Skip Daley, sponsor of Senate Bill 285, told the Assembly Committee on Government Affairs that the bill would give guidance to the State Apprenticeship Council on approval of apprenticeship standards and require separate standards for each nationally recognized building trade when a single program covers multiple disciplines.

\"If somebody comes in regardless of what they call it, if they want to have more than one building trade of the 15 recognized national building trades within one program, they can, but they have to have separate standards for each discipline that they're doing,\" Daley said.

Daley said the measure is intended to preserve the integrity of apprenticeship credentials and to ensure that when a trainee completes a program they receive a certificate naming the correct trade. He described past instances in which programs combined several building trades under a single set of standards and said SB 285 would allow continuation of existing mixed standards until they are revised but requires distinct standards going forward.

Support testimony in Carson City included Cade Grogan of Friar & Reader Public Affairs representing the Nevada Contractors Association, Alexis (Nevada chapter, Associated General Contractors) and Isaac Hardy of Associated Builders and Contractors; each told the committee they supported SB 285 because it clarifies apprenticeship law and maintains program integrity.

The committee invited questions; none were recorded. The sponsor waived final remarks and the committee closed the hearing on SB 285.

Skip Daley presented SB 285 to provide guidance to the State Apprenticeship Council, requiring separate apprenticeship standards for each trade when a single program encompasses multiple of the nationally recognized building trades.
