Historical Society rep stays until replaced

On July 1, 2025, the person serving as the Nevada Historical Society representative continues to serve until a successor is named under the amended law. This delays the change for that seat until a new representative is designated.

New makeup of Nevada names board

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Board has nine voting members, down from twelve. Voting seats now come from: Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology; University of Nevada, Reno faculty; University of Nevada, Las Vegas faculty; and the Division of State Library, Archives and Public Records. Other voting seats are from the Department of Transportation; the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources; the Division of Museums and History of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs; the State’s Department of Native American Affairs; and the Inter‑Tribal Council of Nevada, Inc., or its successor. Each group must name one representative and one alternate. The Nevada Historical Society no longer has a voting seat. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and National Park Service now serve as nonvoting advisers. The Board also picks a nonvoting Executive Secretary. The Board’s job of reviewing and recommending geographic names does not change.
