The Senate approved the measure on a roll-call vote of 11-8 and ordered it to the Assembly.

Supporters described the change as an inclusionary update to the statutory language that removes gendered designations from law; opponents said the move erases language that some women value and undercuts historical recognition. The debate included extended floor speeches from senators on both sides of the issue.

Senator Orenshall introduced the bill on the floor, explaining that the measure replaces gendered terms in statute and removes the authority for a female member to have \"assemblywoman\" on official stationery and license plates. \"Assembly bill 5 88 replaces the terms assemblyman and assemblywoman with assemblymember throughout the Nevada Revised Statutes,\" Orenshall said.

Senator Hansen spoke in strong opposition, invoking the 1989 legislative history that authorized \"assemblywoman\" and arguing the change removes a civil right previously granted: \"So I would urge my colleagues ... to vote no and proudly say, I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud that there are assembly women who are the majority in the other house,\" Hansen said.

Senator Scheibel, speaking in favor, said the change is intended to be inclusive and is limited to statutory language: \"We recognize what it's like to be locked out of the halls of power, and we don't want to do that to other people ... AB 588 is about being inclusive of everybody and not drawing distinctions based on gender in this particular setting,\" Scheibel said.

The recorded roll call showed 11 yeas and 8 nays; the Senate declared AB 588 passed and ordered the Assembly to be notified. The enrolled bill lists the act’s effective date as \"upon passage and approval\" in the bill text discussed on the floor.","The Nevada Senate approved Assembly Bill 588 on May 20, 2025, replacing gendered legislative titles in state statutes with the gender-neutral term \"assemblymember.\" The final vote was 11-8 after extended floor remarks for and against the change.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6543399,"Nevada Senate approves measure requiring attorney general to appoint special counsel for gun-violence prevention",631,1234000,1865000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3588257-cc015ff6d8e3dda4df99a1a0273d7a9f&start=1234&end=1865","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3588257-cc015ff6d8e3dda4df99a1a0273d7a9f/thumbnail_1234000.jpg","/articles/6543399/Nevada/Nevada-Senate-approves-measure-requiring-attorney-general-to-appoint-special-counsel-for-gun-violence-prevention","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6543399-6b717c9eff65e7c9a31eeb311b3c57f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1775531677&Signature=K3JjeyHeRqZfVl-O8R9Pvb7-BIaCxo3arZxIpNdtIJrVcrTGrV4cgmIos2mGoD3M511OwotAOnR-~MtLOCwFYYwMvIRpdhJAzyKsTzqAahAbfzWkc-ByP9-bn9Lv7kKQasOOglr0edEo8McPYOvJDFTUAjt4rGWYRaBxUTxcliJcIBi999zRWi1XX3Sw4oXAoOpwda7G4thTCkezJeAaACg3bz02C1aU9MaOLgV3sOu248cLNX8mxCN4hnPusbqCykg1wCLNtRXU9G3sH5o7krZkuE5EfKoGz0j6ErTPQEM1TjOlDc1QbMPsm~AcTfnCpFJaqT6umH~~Z1OYi2l4VQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nevada Senate passed Senate Bill 156 on May 20, 2025, requiring the state attorney general to appoint a special counsel for the prevention of gun violence. The chamber approved the measure as amended by an 11-8 roll-call vote and ordered the bill to the Assembly.

The adopted amendment deletes multiple sections of the original bill and replaces the proposed standalone office with a requirement that the attorney general appoint a special counsel who would have powers and duties set by the statute. Supporters said the change preserves the measure’s goal of creating a permanent focus on prevention while narrowing its structure.

Senator Flores, who carried the bill, said the measure grew out of work by students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas who sought a nonpartisan, research-driven approach after a campus shooting. \"Young Republicans and young Democrats from UNLV brought it forth ... they wanted to make sure that we weren't creating policy that was attacking the Second Amendment, but was addressing the root issue of gun violence,\" Flores said on the floor.

Opponents said the proposal risked expanding government oversight and channeling public funds toward advocacy. \"This bill represents an unnecessary expansion of government bureaucracy and a potential threat to the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens,\" Senator Buck said during floor debate, arguing the office could fund advocacy and lack ideological safeguards.

Senator Scheibel spoke in support and urged colleagues not to oppose creating an infrastructure for continued conversations about prevention: \"It opens the conversation and it keeps it open,\" Scheibel said. On a procedural amendment (Amendment 8-47), Senator Dondero Lupo moved to adopt the amendment; the motion carried on the floor prior to final passage.

The committee amendment deleted sections 3, 4, 5, 10 and 13 of the introduced bill and revised sections 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 to eliminate establishment of an independent office and instead require the attorney general to appoint a special counsel for prevention of gun violence. The bill text as enrolled sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.

Final roll-call: yes 11, no 8. The Senate declared SB156 passed and ordered it to the Assembly for consideration.

The measure now moves to the Assembly for concurrence or further action; the bill text as amended sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.","The Nevada Senate on May 20 passed SB156 as amended, which removes creation of a standalone Office for Prevention of Gun Violence and instead requires the attorney general to appoint a special counsel for the prevention of gun violence; final passage was 11-8.","actionData","errors"]
