Senator Buck, speaking in support, told colleagues the bill addresses a growing crisis: insurers have been submitting rate-adjustment requests to the Division of Insurance but face \"extreme delays from 9 months to over a year.\" He said major companies had already left or scaled back and that the delays were prompting insurers to exit the market, reducing consumer choice and raising premiums. \"If insurers can't operate substantially, they will continue to leave, and Nevadans will bear the cost,\" he said.

Buck described the bill as a procedural fix to accelerate rate approvals and preserve competition. The Senate recorded a unanimous roll-call vote of 21 yeas and 0 nays; the bill was declared passed and ordered to the Assembly.

The floor record does not contain the full technical details of the regulatory changes; sponsors characterized the bill as responding to agency delays and as necessary to sustain market competition and consumer access to insurance products.

AB 376 will go to the Assembly for enrollment and any additional actions required before the bill can reach the governor.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","6/2/2025 - Senate Floor Session, Pt. 4","oneSentenceSummary","AB 376, legislation addressing insurance regulation and rate-approval delays, passed the Nevada Senate unanimously.

On the floor Senator Buck delivered a forceful opposition speech, arguing the bill \"is a dangerous top down power grab that guts local control, undermines parental rights, and opens our classrooms to obscene pornographic material under the guise of access.\" Buck said the measure would \"prevent school boards from acting swiftly to remove graphic or inappropriate content from school libraries and classrooms\" and warned the bill would force \"parents into the courts just to challenge materials they find inappropriate.\" He concluded, \"I urge this body to reject AB 4 16 and protect our children. Vote no on this harmful nightmare of a bill.\"

Supporters argued the bill protected access and due process for library materials; the Senate record shows a final roll-call tally of 13 yes votes and 8 no votes. The presiding officer declared the measure passed and ordered it to the Assembly.

Buck repeatedly cited a recent Clark County example involving a settlement and argued that removal authority should remain local; he also criticized criminal penalties in the bill, saying they could create a chilling effect on free speech and parental involvement. The transcript shows the senator read from material he characterized as so explicit it could not be read on the Senate floor.

The Senate’s action sends AB 416 back to the Assembly. The transcript records the vote count but does not show further instructions or referrals resulting from floor debate.","AB 416, a measure governing access to certain library materials, passed the Nevada Senate 13–8 after emotional floor remarks arguing the bill undermines local control and parental authority over school materials.",{"_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},6219118,"Senate approves $133 million housing appropriation and $50 million bond authority in AB 540",181,2391000,2572000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3624042-4ee0c39feb0d209c7811087fcaf53f7b&start=2391&end=2572","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3624042-4ee0c39feb0d209c7811087fcaf53f7b/thumbnail_2391000.jpg","/articles/6219118/Nevada/Senate-approves-133-million-housing-appropriation-and-50-million-bond-authority-in-AB-540","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6219118-c4c6fa3465da1c8312745ff494fecc19/orig.mp4?Expires=1770552915&Signature=CSipRfteI3YiDWhvntTsuJT2fXqNq79wh~y6ezU187ujYglYRFL8bW6sv6Ib6xxRdpFy7wx3nr9f1Btq8OeZwnkrpJj4DuRSfNqlYb~rcIW3yduOXOPVKX9gUquZGZ3yMn36Qqi~NXl0BuAj1lwJPhdy1COI5e5r2nQV1IRsKRwaRd7R6Njfy6uDNIK9fDB89gaAnj74oDF48KWUr4kLDIfFDRLX7-FSzHlJxTONHQD6cEA5Uje6VnmP7U4lVZXYAAwAvRd-sTlX2pQg-G4dqXwb2BhXZyAb7VYPXX~lBcL7MMX7s6SXzXmvqT65knvGuw4e~kFmDMi16KRiI~6PTw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nevada Senate voted to pass Assembly Bill 540, which creates a multi-part funding package for attainable housing and directs sizable new resources into the Nevada Attainable Housing Account.

The bill, as amended on the floor, directs $133,000,000 to the Nevada Attainable Housing Account in the state general fund and requires the issuance of $50,000,000 in bonds in the next biennium for attainable housing infrastructure.

Senator Edgar Flores presented amendment number 990 on the floor, which the floor described as prioritizing single-family homes affordable to households with monthly gross incomes at or below 50% of the county median, renaming the housing advocate within the housing division, revising provisions of the statewide low-income housing database, and requiring the $50,000,000 bond issuance. After adoption of the amendment and a successful motion to suspend rules and declare the measure an emergency, the Senate held a roll-call vote.

Senators approved AB 540 by a vote of 15 yeas and 6 nays. The presiding officer declared AB 540 passed and ordered to the Assembly.

Floor action included suspending rules to expedite consideration, inserting the adopted amendment into the bill, and withdrawing an additional amendment (9 91) per the motion made on the floor. Debate on the floor was limited in the transcript record; some senators requested a brief recess to review the amendment text before the vote. Supporters framed the measure as a major investment to expand attainable housing; one senator described the funding as \"a step in the right direction to help small businesses\" in another bill, and on AB 540 senators described the appropriation as an important tool for housing projects.

The Assembly will receive notice of the Senate’s action and may proceed with enrollment or concurrence steps pursuant to the usual legislative process.","The Nevada Senate passed AB 540, creating a funding package for attainable housing that includes a $133 million appropriation to the Nevada Attainable Housing Account and a required $50 million bond authorization for the next biennium.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6219123,"Nevada Senate passes broad health-care bill after debate over freestanding emergency rooms",648,1215000,1863000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3624042-4ee0c39feb0d209c7811087fcaf53f7b&start=1215&end=1863","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3624042-4ee0c39feb0d209c7811087fcaf53f7b/thumbnail_1215000.jpg","/articles/6219123/Nevada/Nevada-Senate-passes-broad-health-care-bill-after-debate-over-freestanding-emergency-rooms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6219123-66ab3e8d5ab16ed09314d4d3afa73094/orig.mp4?Expires=1770552915&Signature=Ook5PcmDcb7QDX5LqwcGJ96nfn2g-B7-XdaxhW5AA3IRi4Jdd8-SxCuJZLIgSdkn20wPkS2g6MgEARh3HxrIC51C7zq8GGes~18KaLMI5btuOT8Xo53FDQ9B~vgb4mqElzT-CMh1RNj8EA5HfUWcbGs9gy8p4YyUT~QaVWj~4zBNa3vpv30eN8J6FXvaqu1xK~VO00nX2U8gF2KqKQCY4f9MWZ~SlW83~sKcBr6xDbLMEhTPl8aeHlwZgbmloVBLWc~RwAk9bkAxeP6JTooty1IWS1rWVpJbp0f5WwzyCy2sR71sf1QkO9kqL0sMS3RsiPMbwGGckeXOLR3M1y4wPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nevada Senate passed Senate Bill 495, a health-care measure from the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, after a roll-call vote of 13 yeas and 8 nays that sent the bill back to the Assembly for enrollment.

The vote concludes several hours of consideration and an amendment process in which senators said the bill revises provisions related to health care. Opponents argued late changes reduced access to emergency care at freestanding emergency departments.

Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro moved the amendment package and floor consideration. The bill, as described on the floor, \"revises provisions relating to health care\" and was taken up with amendment number 942. Senator DeNate moved to adopt the amendment and the amendment was carried before final passage.

Senator Dina Titus, speaking in opposition on final consideration, said the bill had been beneficial earlier in the session but \"as it happens in this body sometimes at this ninth hour, some things get amended into a bill that then takes that good bill and that good bill will now do harm.\" Titus specifically raised concerns about freestanding emergency rooms, saying the changes \"would do to them and the decrease in access to the care.\" She concluded: \"I'm gonna urge my colleagues to vote no on this bill.\"

Senators voting to pass the bill achieved the constitutional majority required to send SB 495 back to the Assembly. The clerk recorded 13 yes votes and 8 no votes; the presiding officer declared the bill passed and ordered to the Assembly.

Discussion and debate on the floor focused on how recent amendments affect access to care — opponents warned of reduced access at certain emergency facilities, while supporters argued the package advances broader goals of improving health-care access and implements provisions requested by the committee. The Senate did not record additional floor instructions or a referral for further study before passage.

SB 495 will now return to the Assembly for concurrence with the Senate’s actions and any enrollment steps required before it can proceed to the governor.","The Nevada Senate passed SB 495, a package of changes to state health-care law, after debate and a 13–8 vote in which critics warned amendments could harm access to care at freestanding emergency departments.","actionData","errors"]
