Assembly Bill 263, described by sponsor Assemblymember Erica Mosca as an "East Las Vegas bill," seeks to formalize cooperation between Clark County and the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) for outreach to people experiencing homelessness and for cleanup actions in and near state rights‑of‑way.

Mosca told the Senate Government Affairs Committee she and local stakeholders have spent more than a year doing community cleanups, town halls and site visits to understand local needs. "There are many areas especially in my district where there are borders of NDOT and borders of county. ... This bill is just trying to say that Clark County ... and NDOT will work together," Mosca said.

Joanna Jacob and other county representatives described the current multi‑step cleanup practice: county public works and contracted outreach teams notify occupants, attempt services connections, and then provide notice before multi‑day cleanups. Clark County said the bill would allow those teams to operate immediately adjacent to or into state right‑of‑way in order to serve people who cross jurisdictional lines and to reduce confusion over which agency should act.

NDOT's communications director told the committee the department worked with the sponsor and the county to shape language and requested the bill be fiscally neutral to state highway funds. NDOT said the aim was clearer communication pathways, not to require the state to pick up county costs.

Municipal partners including the City of North Las Vegas testified in support and said they had engaged with the sponsor about possible cooperative approaches. Several senators praised the sponsor's stakeholder outreach and an amendment tightened the definition of "near" to mean "immediately adjacent," a change senators said would reduce ambiguity.

With no opposition witnesses, the committee moved on after testimony from local governments and nonprofit partners. Supporters said the measure is intended to reduce duplication, clarify responsibilities for outreach and cleanups, and improve connections to shelter and services for people living along jurisdictional edges.

Ending: AB 263 was heard with broad local support. Sponsors and NDOT said the bill is written to be fiscally neutral for the state while enabling targeted collaboration in Clark County rights‑of‑way. Committee members commended the sponsor's yearlong community engagement.
