Governor Joe Lombardo is scheduled to hold a ceremonial bill signing on Monday morning at the Legislative Building in Las Vegas.
Marking the enactment of three measures sponsored by Senator Julie Pazina (D) that passed with bipartisan support in both chambers of the Nevada Legislature.
The bills, Senate Bill 114, Senate Bill 338, and Senate Bill 262, address safety protocols in multi-family housing, consumer protections in live event ticketing, and the expansion of medical residency opportunities within the state.
“The signing of these bills into law highlights the importance of listening to my neighbors and working with my colleagues to ensure that all Nevadans feel safe in their homes, have improved access to healthcare, and are protected from junk consumer fees,” said Senator Julie Pazina. She continued, “By talking directly with Nevadans and asking what is important to them, I was proud to craft legislation that will make an impact for our community, and I am thrilled to see these bills signed into law.”
Senate Bill 114, known as Miya’s Law, mandates background checks for individuals with access to master keys or universal access devices in multi-family dwellings, including maintenance workers and contractors. It also requires the logging of key usage by date, time, and individual, providing a traceable record intended to enhance security for residents.
Senate Bill 338 focuses on consumer protections in the live entertainment sector. The legislation requires ticket providers to clearly disclose all pricing information upfront and prohibits misrepresentation of such details. Additionally, the bill mandates that full refunds be issued within 30 days for cancelled events once public notice is given.
Senate Bill 262 seeks to improve access to healthcare across Nevada by expanding in-state residency opportunities for medical graduates. The bill aims to retain more healthcare professionals within the state, with the broader goal of lowering healthcare costs and improving access to medical care.
