Assembly committee introduces two BDRs on voter registration and election workers
Summary
The Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections voted to introduce BDR 24,360 (voter registration) and BDR 24,362 (election workers). Introductions were carried by voice vote; committee chair stressed that introduction does not signal support for final passage.
CARSON CITY — The Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections introduced two bill draft requests on procedural matters for the 2025 legislative session and approved both by voice vote on the record.
The committee voted to introduce BDR 24,360, a measure described by the chair as one that “revises provisions relating to voter registration.” Vice Chair Gonzales moved to introduce the BDR and Assemblymember Hategui seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. The committee then introduced BDR 24,362, described as a measure that “revises provisions relating to election workers,” on a motion moved by Vice Chair Gonzales and seconded by Assemblymember Monroe Moreno; that motion also carried by voice vote.
Chair Mosca emphasized a procedural point before members voted: “a vote in favor of introducing a BDR does not imply a commitment to support the measure later. All this action does is allow the BDR to become a bill and enter the legislative hearing process.” That distinction frames the introductions as the first step in the formal bill process rather than a final endorsement.
No substantive debate on the provisions of either draft was recorded during the committee meeting. The introductions permit the drafting office to prepare bill language and begin the formal notice and hearing process; subsequent committee hearings will determine if either measure advances.
Public comment was invited at the end of the meeting; none was received in person, by telephone, or through other provided channels during the session.
