Board hears legislative update: special session, SB5 and committee focus
Summary
Strategies 360 consultant reported candidate filing dates, campaign fund amounts and that the Legislature convened a special session; he highlighted SB5, a proposed $60 million fund to expand healthcare access in underserved areas, and said interim committees will focus on maternal and behavioral health issues.
Mr. Musgrove of Strategies 360 briefed the board on pending and recent legislative activity, telling members that candidate filing will take place March 2 through March 13, 2026 and that "Joe Lombardo has approximately $15 million in campaign funds." He said the Legislature itself added to the Governor's proclamation to call a special session — "for the first time in Nevada history" — and that the session considered a healthcare bill that did not pass. Mr. Musgrove highlighted SB5, "which creates a $60 million fund focused on expanding healthcare access in underserved areas," as the bill of greatest interest to healthcare stakeholders.
Board members followed with questions about the Sunset Committee and the Interim Healthcare Committee. Mr. Musgrove reported the Sunset Committee's first meeting is focusing on boards and commissions and that the interim committee will prioritize maternal, fetal and infant health, public health, workforce issues, mental and behavioral health, and child welfare. The briefing was informational; no board action was taken.
