City attorney briefs council on 2025 legislative session; council concurs with staff recommendations
Summary
The city attorney reported that 1,002 bills were published in the 2025 Nevada legislative session and that Boulder City is tracking 157; the council unanimously concurred with staff's positions and asked staff to continue monitoring and report amendments and impacts.
The city attorney updated the council on bills in the 2025 Nevada legislative session and asked for concurrence with staff positions on the measures the city is tracking.
"There are 1,002 bills currently published, and the city is tracking 157 of those bills," the city attorney said, describing staff work to review drafts and amendments and to assess potential fiscal or operational impacts. The attorney noted staff is monitoring approximately 60 new bills added since the prior report and is coordinating with the city’s lobbyist.
The city attorney described its process for tracking and recommended positions (support, oppose or neutral) and said staff would flag amendments and suggest changes in position if necessary. As an example of staff engagement, the attorney said negotiators had narrowed the scope of a workers’-compensation bill so it would not broadly apply to civilian employees beyond narrow investigative roles.
Councilmember Walton moved to concur with staff’s recommendations on the legislative report; the motion was seconded and the council voted unanimously to approve the request.
The city attorney said staff would return future updates showing which bills changed, the council’s requested positions, and any recommended testimony or advocacy steps.
