The Nevada Senate on Nov. 12, 2025, adopted a package of standing rules for its special session that leaders said are intended to accelerate consideration of measures identified in the governor’s proclamation.

Senate Resolution 1, introduced by Senators Nicole Cannizzaro and Rochelle Titus and adopted by voice vote, amends Senate Rule 37 to "increase the number from 5 to 10 the numbers of measures which the majority leader may request for introduction without seeking the approval of the senate" so the chamber can process a larger volume of bills in the time-limited session. The change was described during the resolution reading and approved by the Senate (voice vote; counts not specified).

The Assembly transmitted concurrent rule changes that amend joint standing rule number 5 to allow bills to be prefiled and available on the first day of session without requiring committee introductions, a procedural change supporters said would make the session more efficient.

Leaders also moved procedural changes to speed floor processing: for the remainder of the special session, the secretary will read bills and resolutions by number, sponsor and summary rather than by full text, and the reading of the journal was dispensed with and authorized for correction by the president and secretary (both measures approved by voice votes).

Bills introduced and referred: the Senate introduced five bills and referred each without objection.

• Senate Bill 1 — introduced by the Senate Committee on Public Safety and Security; revises provisions governing the short-term lease of a passenger car; referred to the Committee on Public Safety and Security.

• Senate Bill 2 — introduced by the Senate Committee on Public Safety and Security; revises provisions relating to legislative affairs; referred to the Committee on Public Safety and Security.

• Senate Bill 3 — introduced by the Senate Committee on Health and Wellness; revises provisions relating to public assistance; referred to the Committee on Health and Wellness.

• Senate Bill 4 — introduced by the Senate Committee on Jobs and Economy; revises provisions relating to state financial administration; referred to the Committee on Jobs and Economy.

• Senate Bill 5 — introduced by the Senate Committee on Health and Wellness; makes revisions relating to health care; referred to the Committee on Health and Wellness.

Committee assignments for the duration of the special session were announced under Senate Rule 16.5, naming chairs and membership for Health and Wellness, Jobs and Economy, and Public Safety and Security committees. The Senate then recessed to allow committees to meet.

All procedural actions described above were approved by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" and "Motion carries" for each motion but does not provide roll-call tallies in these segments.
