Nevada Senate clears multiple bills, adopts employee leave resolution in final hours
Summary
On June 2, 2025, the Nevada State Senate voted to concur with several assembly amendments, passed multiple bills and adopted a concurrent resolution granting administrative leave to legislative employees. Several procedural votes, including a contested change to joint standing rules, occurred in late-session floor action.
The Nevada State Senate on June 2, 2025, moved several measures forward and adopted a concurrent resolution recognizing legislative employees, voting to concur with assembly amendments on multiple bills and transmitting several items to the Assembly.
The Senate adopted Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 4, which "grants administrative leave to legislative employees in recognition of their service to the 83rd session of the Nevada Legislature," after a brief motion to adopt. Senator Camusaro urged support, saying the employees are "very hardworking" and "so deserving." The motion carried by voice vote.
On bills, the Senate took the following actions: - Assembly Bill 571 (appropriations to the Department of Education for professional development costs, information technology projects, programs, grants and studies): After the Assembly refused to concur in a Senate amendment, the Senate voted to recede from its action and ordered AB 571 to the Assembly. - Senate Bill 262 (graduate medical education): The Senate concurred with Assembly Amendment No. 905 and ordered the bill; the motion to concur carried on voice vote. - Senate Bill 417 (public utilities): The Senate concurred with Assembly Amendment No. 707 and ordered the bill to be transmitted to the Assembly. - Assembly Bill 409 (creates new special license plates): The roll call result recorded 21 ayes and 0 nays; AB 409 was declared passed and ordered to the Assembly. - Assembly Bill 471 (revises provisions governing remote sales of certain tobacco products; requires a two-thirds vote): The roll call recorded 21 ayes and 0 nays; AB 471 received the required two-thirds vote and was declared passed and ordered to the Assembly. - Senate Bill 60 (education): The Senate concurred with Assembly Amendment No. 976 and ordered the bill.
The Senate also acted on concurrent and internal resolutions. Senate Concurrent Resolution 8 (amending joint standing rules for the current session) and Senate Resolution 9 (designating members and alternates of the Legislative Commission for the 2025–2027 biennium) were both adopted and transmitted as appropriate.
The Senate received a message from the Governor later in the session listing numerous Senate bills returned without approval; the message named multiple bill numbers and said they were returned accompanied by letters of objection from Governor Joe Lombardo.
The Senate completed its final business and adjourned sine die following the transmission and notification steps required by the chamber.
