At its meeting, the Nevada Commission on Ethics accepted a stipulated consent order resolving an ethics complaint against Nye County Commissioner Ron Boskovich. The commission approved the agreement and directed commission counsel to finalize it in appropriate legal form.

The agreement stems from a complaint filed Aug. 26, 2024, alleging that Boskovich used his position in matters involving his ex‑spouse and his daughter, both of whom are employees of Nye County. Executive Director Ross Armstrong told the commission staff negotiated an early settlement after jurisdiction was accepted under the ethics law and that the parties agreed to record one willful violation of the disclosure statute.

The commission’s agreement finds a willful violation of the disclosure requirement described in the complaint, with a compliance and monitoring period of one year. If Boskovich demonstrates continued compliance during that period, the commission will convert the finding from willful to non‑willful. As part of the stipulation Boskovich agreed to seek an advisory opinion from the commission for future handling of matters involving his family and to complete Nevada Ethics Online training.

Attorney Rebecca Brouss, who identified herself as counsel for Boskovich, thanked Executive Director Armstrong for his assistance and described Boskovich as wanting to come into compliance. “I sincerely, and as does Mr. Boskovich, sincerely appreciate the efforts that Mr. Armstrong made,” Brouss said. Brouss also told the panel that Boskovich is now chair of the Nye County Board of County Commissioners and that his ex‑spouse has since become the county manager, which raised questions the advisory opinion will address.

The commission moved and voted to accept the stipulation; Commissioner Miller seconded the motion and the record shows the motion passed unanimously. The commission waived a review panel for this matter as part of the negotiated resolution.

The commission classified the action as a consent order with monitoring rather than a deferral agreement; staff said the intent is to allow the commission to reduce the finding to non‑willful if Boskovich demonstrates compliance over the coming year.
