Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
9 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 7 mixed.
Low-income tenants only; rent includes utilities
Beginning July 1, 2025, housing authorities may rent only to people of low income. They can give tenant preferences only when federal law or their funding contracts require it. When setting rent, authorities must count the average yearly cost of heat, water, electricity, gas, cooking fuel, and other needed services.
Higher pay for housing commissioners
An authority can pay each commissioner up to $250 for each meeting, set by board resolution. Beginning July 1, 2025, the law also caps per‑day meeting pay at $250, with the exact rate set by the authority.
Most authority projects stay nonprofit
Beginning July 1, 2025, a housing authority may not run housing for profit or as a money source for a city or county. A regional housing authority formed under this law is the one exception and may operate for profit. Also starting July 1, 2025, a project that qualifies under the federal low‑income housing tax credit is not treated as for‑profit.
Create regional housing authorities
The law lets a county with 100,000 to under 700,000 people and its cities form a regional housing authority. Each participating government must pass a resolution with a transition plan; this begins dissolving any local authority and shifting duties. If money, property, or mergers are involved, they must consult HUD and sign written agreements. A seven‑member board runs the new authority, including one person who currently receives housing help. The new authority can work across the area named in the plan, and it is treated as a housing authority under state law.
New housing business entities and closed meetings
A regional housing authority can form or join businesses to develop, run, or manage housing, including for‑profit or nonprofit entities. Those businesses can use public‑private partnerships and other private financing tools. Their meetings do not have to follow the state open meeting law, and starting July 1, 2025, these rules override the general open meeting rules. Starting July 1, 2025, projects run by these entities are not bound by the authority’s usual tenant‑selection and rent‑calculation rules.
PILOT payments for authority housing
Beginning July 1, 2025, a housing authority must agree to make payments in lieu of taxes to local governments and the State when that is consistent with keeping projects low‑rent. If a project has a property tax exemption under state law, no PILOT is required for that project.
Keep rules and contracts during reorg
Beginning July 1, 2025, existing agency rules stay in effect even if an office’s name or duties change. Contracts and agreements keep binding the new agency. The Nevada Administrative Code must be updated to point to the correct current office or agency.
Old housing statutes repealed July 2025
Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada repeals NRS 315.011 and 315.580. People and agencies previously covered by those sections must follow the remaining housing laws and rules.
Updated military and veteran definitions
A “serviceman” or “servicewoman” now means someone currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The state also uses the federal definition of “veteran.” These updates can change who qualifies for any housing‑related categories that use these terms.
