During the Senate's Order of Business for introduction, first reading and reference, nine bills were read into the record and referred to standing committees without recorded debate.
Senator Wynne moved referrals for measures introduced by the Senate Committee on Growth and Infrastructure and other committees. Senate Bill 442, described as requiring the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada to establish certain reporting requirements, was referred to the Committee on Growth and Infrastructure on motion of Senator Wynne. Senator Wynne also moved the referral of Senate Bill 443 (provisions relating to public works) to the Committee on Government Affairs. Senator Taylor moved to refer Senate Bills 444, 445 and 446—each introduced by the Senate Committee on Education—to the Committee on Education; their descriptions included revising policies on certain electronic devices in schools (SB 444), revising pupil data privacy provisions (SB 445), and revising provisions relating to work-based learning programs (SB 446).
Senator Flores moved the referral of Senate Bill 447 (public works) to the Committee on Government Affairs and Senate Bill 448, described as making an appropriation to Workforce Connections for a program for certain youth, to the Committee on Finance; the transcript does not specify the appropriation amount.

Each referral was approved on the floor with the phrase "Are there any objections to the referral? If not, so ordered," indicating the motions carried with no recorded objections in the transcript. The transcript records the introductions and referral motions but does not include committee-level debate, bill text beyond short descriptions, or vote tallies.
Before adjournment, Senator Cathleen Cannizzaro moved that the Senate stand adjourned until 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, citing the upcoming State of the Judiciary event; the motion was carried on a voice vote recorded in the transcript.
