As you know, the 80th Legislative Session is over. So new laws will be going into effect over the next couple of months.
Governor Sisolak signed many bills into law including AB 291 that would allow a court to order a person to surrender their firearm if they engaged in what is considered "high-risk behavior," however, that one doesn't go into effect until January.
Next week several justice reform laws will go into effect though, here are some big ones:
AB 236 will allow a person who has spent time in prison to be able to find a job.
AB 431 will restore a Nevadan's right to vote after they get out of prison.
Following that we also will have new laws on domestic violence and sexual assault.
ABÂ 60 will increase the penalties on domestic violence crimes, and ABÂ 142 will eliminate the statue of limitations on sexual assault cases with DNAÂ evidence. Â
Governor Sisolak also signed a bill into law that will raise the minimum wage to $12 for some workers by 2024, if their employer does not offer health insurance, and $11 if you have health insurance.
SB 179 will remove some of the requirements of consent that women had to give before having an abortion.
AB 114 requires schools to report information concerning course and training related to suicide prevention.
SB 448 is partially going into effect on Monday and would allow transferable tax credits to be used for homelessness and affordable housing.
As of now, any public construction that costs more than $250,000 must pay workers an equal wage set by the state for any given project. But on July 1st, SB 243 will lower that cutoff to $100,000. Which means workers will make more money, but it will also cost cities more in the process.
AB 182 goes into effect on Monday as well and it will declare neon as the official state element of The State of Nevada.
