CARSON CITY, Nev. — The Nevada State Senate on March 10, 2025 introduced 17 bills covering health care, education, public safety and infrastructure and referred each to a standing committee for further review.
Most measures were introduced briefly on the floor, followed by motions to refer them to committee. The motions were approved "seeing none, so ordered" in each instance, with no recorded roll-call objections during the introductions.
Key measures and committee referrals included: health-related bills referred to the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services — Senate Bill 299 (revisions relating to senior living communities), Senate Bill 300 (revisions relating to Medicaid), Senate Bill 306 (revisions relating to mental-health services for children), Senate Bill 307 (provisions relating to the Office of Minority Health and Equity), and Senate Bill 312 (provisions relating to the health of American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians).
Education-related measures were referred to the Senate Committee on Education, including Senate Bill 305 (revisions relating to interscholastic activities), Senate Bill 308 (waivers of fees charged to students within the Nevada System of Higher Education), and Senate Bill 314 (revisions relating to mental-health education in schools).
Government affairs and public-safety bills were routed as follows: Senate Bill 301 (revisions relating to public employees) and Senate Bill 302 (revisions relating to law enforcement) were referred to the Committee on Government Affairs; Senate Bill 303 (provisions related to certain premises for recreational activity) was referred to the Judiciary Committee; Senate Bill 304 (revisions related to the crime of vehicular homicide) and Senate Bill 309 (revisions relating to crimes) were referred to the Growth and Infrastructure Committee.
Other referrals included Senate Bill 310 (provisions relating to public monuments) to Natural Resources; Senate Bill 311 (requirements for certain alarm companies) to Commerce and Labor; Senate Bill 313 (revisions related to state purchasing) to Government Affairs; and Senate Bill 315 (authorization for the Department of Transportation to enter a progressive design-build contract for certain projects) to Growth and Infrastructure.
Each bill introduction followed the chamber's standard procedure: the bill text was read or summarized by title on the floor, a senator moved that the measure be referred to the named committee, and the presiding officer called for objections. In each case captured on the floor transcript the presiding officer announced the referral after no objections were raised.
The session noted 19 senators present at the roll call earlier in the day. The Senate concluded its "Order of Business 10" for introductions and first reading and adjourned the legislative day, standing adjourned until 11 a.m. on March 11, 2025.
The referrals send each measure into committee consideration, where staff analysis, public comment and committee hearings will determine whether the bills advance to subsequent readings and votes.
Votes at a glance: Because these actions were motions to refer and the transcript records no formal roll-call votes on the merits of the bills at this stage, the transcript records only that each referral was ordered after the presiding officer heard no objections.
