Summary
During a floor session, the Nevada Senate’s floor approved committee reports, accepted a fiscal-exemption notice, re-referred Senate Bill 323 to the Finance Committee and ordered Senate Bills 256 and 383 to the general file; several sponsorship changes were also entered.
The Nevada Senate on the floor accepted several committee reports, approved a fiscal-exemption notice from the Fiscal Analysis Division and took procedural actions on multiple bills, including re-referring Senate Bill 323 to the Finance Committee and ordering Senate Bills 256 and 383 to the general file.
The actions came during routine floor business when the chamber’s clerks and committee chairs reported the status of referred measures. Senator Rochelle Wynne, chair of the Senate Committee on Growth and Infrastructure, reported that Senate Bill 321 was returned to the floor with a recommendation that it “do pass.” Senator Shelley Cruz Crawford, chair of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources, likewise reported back a set of bills with a recommendation to “do pass.” The Fiscal Analysis Division issued a notice dated 04/03/2025 determining eligibility for exemption under Joint Standing Rule 14.6 for a list of bills recorded in the session.
Senator Dundera Loop moved to re-refer Senate Bill 323 to the Finance Committee on the basis that it may have fiscal impact; the motion carried on a voice vote. The transcript records the motion as: “I move to re refer senate bill 3 23 to finance as it may have fiscal impact.” No roll-call tally was recorded in the floor transcript; the presiding officer announced the motion carried.
During the same session the Senate ordered Senate Bill 256, introduced by Senator Wynne, to the general file after its reading. The chamber likewise ordered Senate Bill 383, introduced by Senator Orrenshall, to the general file. The floor record shows no floor amendments or roll-call votes on those orders; they proceeded by the floor’s routine processing of introduced measures.
Clerks also recorded sponsor adjustments entered on the floor: Senator Daley approved adding Senator Steinbeck as a primary sponsor to Senate Bill 376; Senator Orenshall approved adding Senator Rogich as a primary sponsor to Senate Bill 174; and Senator Rogich approved adding Senator Orenshall as a primary sponsor to Senate Bill 398. Those sponsor additions were announced by the clerk and reflected in the floor record.
The Fiscal Analysis Division’s notice lists many bill numbers found in the floor record and states the division’s determination of eligibility for exemption pursuant to Joint Standing Rule 14.6. The floor record includes the text of that notice and cites Wayne Thorely of the Fiscal Analysis Division as the signer. The notice itself is administrative; the transcript does not record floor debate about the substance of the exemptions or fiscal determinations.
The Senate adjourned the session by voice vote and the floor record shows the chamber recessed until 11 a.m. on Monday, 04/07/2025. The session record identifies 18 senators present at the time of roll call. The transcript records procedural movement of measures and committee reports but does not include detailed floor debate or recorded roll-call tallies for the actions described.
