Update (6/3/2025, 12:13 p.m.):

Governor Lombardo has issued a statement regarding the conclusion of the 83rd Session of the Nevada Legislature.

"As the session concludes, I’m proud to report that we’ve made significant progress in our two most critical endeavors this session: combatting the rising cost of housing and improving outcomes in our K-12 education system.

Nevada has a housing crisis, and together, we passed a comprehensive bill that will build more affordable and attainable housing for Nevada families. The Nevada Housing Access and Attainability Act removes bureaucratic red tape, invests in our communities, expedites housing development and energizes the effort to create more inventory at more affordable prices.

We also passed historic education choice and accountability, so that every Nevada student can graduate career or college ready. We implemented open zoning so our children can attend the school that best fits their educational needs, and we provided resources to allow those children trapped in underperforming schools transportation to attend the school of their choice – regardless of their zip code. Simply put, we have instituted more educational accountability measures than during any legislative session in the history of Nevada.

In the coming days and weeks, I look forward to sharing more about the legislative victories we achieved together, and how they will benefit Nevadans across our great state."

Original Story (6/3/2025):

The 83rd Nevada Legislature adjourned just after midnight with dozens of bills passed.

Sources tell 2 News Nevada that in the closing hours of the session, lots of meetings were happening behind closed doors.

Sources say all legislative rules are out the window for these private meetings, which are happening with no official documentation.

The Governor's housing bill was heard on the Senate floor and passed 15 to 6. It now must be concurred in the Assembly after a last-minute amendment was added.

The bipartisan education bill, with State Senator Nicole Cannizzaro and the Governor, passed out of the Assembly 38 to 4 and needs to be concurred in the Senate after amendments. 

The Governor's other priority bill, his health care bill, passed out of the Senate 13-8, but still needs a vote on the Assembly floor.

While not a priority bill, the legislation that's looking to create the Nevada Health Authority is heading straight to the Governor, where he will sign.

It is his first win of the night.

Speaker Steve Yeager's bill allowing nonpartisans to vote in primaries also passed in the Senate 12-9.

The animal cruelty bill known as Reba's Law passed out of the Senate 14-7. It is looking to strengthen punishments for those convicted of animal abuse, and it needs to be concurred in the Assembly.

A bill allowing to-go alcohol drinks and making the picon punch the official state drink also passed 20-1 in the Senate and needs to be concurred in the Assembly.

One bill that looks to come down to the wire is the film tax credits bill that is looking to bring the two major film studios to southern Nevada.

There is a proposed amendment from Senator Lange seeking to break down the bill to just a study, with no changes.

A lot of the bills that passed moments ago had amendments that did change the bills, so we will have to see if those are respected by the original bill sponsors and their floor of origin.

It is unknown at this time if a special session will be called.
