John Steinbeck that would require boards of county commissioners and city governing bodies to adopt model ordinances enabling regional multi-jurisdiction business licenses for specified business categories.

Sen. John Steinbeck told the committee the bill is intended to reduce administrative burdens for businesses that operate across multiple local jurisdictions and to promote interoperability among local business-license systems. \"This is a practical solution to a long standing challenge faced by businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions across Nevada,\" he said.

Joanna Jacob of Clark County and officials from participating cities described an ongoing integration effort with the Secretary of State called Project Orion (work to upgrade the SilverFlume state portal) that would support a one-stop, multi-jurisdictional licensing system. Clark County representatives said they have already used interlocal agreements to add sidewalk vendors and contractors to multi-jurisdiction pilot licensing and that the next category under consideration is mobile food vendors.

Under a session amendment, the bill was narrowed to apply to counties with populations over 700,000; witnesses said that change reduced fiscal notes and reflected the technical readiness of large jurisdictions. Participating entities named in testimony included Clark County, the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas; witnesses said they hope to add smaller jurisdictions later.

Committee members asked whether a multi-jurisdiction license would change fee totals; witnesses said the regional license would represent the combined fees of the participating jurisdictions and be distributed to each jurisdiction in the agreed amounts. Joanna Jacob and Mike Cathcart (City of Henderson director of business license) emphasized that the bill is intended to streamline application and distribution processes, but that individual code enforcement and permitting authority would remain with each jurisdiction.

Support testimony came from multiple business groups and local governments. Clark County and city officials urged the committee to pass the bill to formalize and accelerate integration already underway and to reduce the time small businesses spend navigating separate licensing systems.

The committee did not vote on SB 373 during the hearing; sponsors said they intend to continue outreach and add additional categories over time.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5/26/2025 - Assembly Committee on Government Affairs","oneSentenceSummary","Senate Bill 373 would require counties and incorporated cities to adopt model ordinances to allow regional, multi-jurisdiction business licenses; the bill was presented May 26, 2025 in Carson City by Sen.

Julie Pizzina that would reduce the state business license issuance fee for entities with fewer than 50 full- or part-time employees for their first year of operation.

\"The intent of Senate Bill 240 is to help small businesses succeed in Nevada,\" Sen. Julie Pizzina said at the hearing. She introduced the bill as targeted relief for entrepreneurs, saying high licensing fees are a barrier to startups.

Paul Moradkin of the Vegas Chamber said the measure is designed to reduce upfront costs and help businesses invest capital back into operations. Supporters told the committee the reduction applies only to state business licensing and does not alter local (county or city) licensing fees.

Assemblymember DeLong asked where the bill text limits the reduction to the first year; sponsors replied that the drafting places the first-year relief in a separate section and had been checked with the Legislative Counsel Bureau to avoid unintended multi-year effects. The sponsor cited Bureau of Labor Statistics data indicating roughly 4,793 Nevada establishments with fewer than 50 employees as context for the measure.

Support came from business groups including NFIB Nevada, the Reno Sparks Chamber of Commerce, the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, the Nevada Franchise Auto Dealers Association, the Henderson Chamber of Commerce and the Latin Chamber of Commerce; witnesses said the policy would encourage licensing compliance and reduce administrative friction for startups.

Supporters and the sponsor said the state-level reduction is limited to the first year and applies only to entities that meet the employee-size threshold; they also said the bill excludes corporations and does not create a fiscal impact for local governments.

The committee did not take a vote on SB 240 during the hearing.","Senate Bill 240 was presented May 26, 2025 to reduce the state business licensing fee for entities with fewer than 50 employees in their first year.

The bill was presented by Timothy Galluzzi, State Chief Information Officer in the Office of the Chief Information Officer.

Galluzzi told the committee the proposal continues work begun when the office was elevated in the prior session. \"The vision of SB 431 that y'all had last session is coming to fruition. It is working,\" he said, summarizing the office's shift from tactical service delivery to strategic engagement with state agencies.

The measure changes the agency's name to the \"Governor's Technology Office,\" updates unit names (for example, units to divisions), clarifies position titles and classifications, and removes definitions the sponsor said were no longer relevant. Galluzzi said one specific change in section 7 would change a deputy position from classified to unclassified \"as a parity issue,\" noting current deputies who report directly to the chief are unclassified.

Committee members pressed for detail on how SB 12 fits with other pending measures. Galluzzi said SB 12 is intended to align with — not conflict with — other cybersecurity-related legislation. He described a budget implementation bill and earlier measures that would combine the Office of Information Security and the Office of Cyber Defense Coordination into one team and create a statewide security operations center (SOC) as an operational unit under that combined team. \"When the Office of Cyber Defense Coordination does, hopefully transition into the Office of the Chief Information Officer, it will combine with the Office of Information Security, and then the security operation center would be effectively an operational unit underneath that combined security team,\" Galluzzi said.

Committee members also asked about fiscal and staffing impacts. Galluzzi said the fiscal note on SB 12 is limited to rebranding costs and that the bill itself is intended largely to align statutory language with the office's current functioning as a cabinet-level organization, not to create immediate staffing reductions.

Support testimony included Trevor Parrish of the Vegas Chamber, who said the chamber \"appreciates the efforts\" in SB 12 because it will help streamline and modernize state operations and improve protection of the state's digital infrastructure.

Galluzzi closed by urging the committee to view the bill as continuing the legislature's prior work to place technology at a more strategic level inside the executive branch. \"I'm not elected. Let's leave offices named after elected officials, and let's leave that as a sacred distinction,\" he said.

The committee did not take a vote during the hearing. The chair closed the SB 12 hearing and opened the next item on the agenda.","The Assembly Government Affairs Committee heard Senate Bill 12 on May 26, 2025, a measure to rename the Office of the Chief Information Officer, clarify internal titles and classifications, and align organizational language in statutes to support broader cybersecurity consolidation plans.","actionData","errors"]
