Clear rules for state grants to nonprofits

The law sets what counts as a state grant and what does not. Loans, loan guarantees, insurance, direct cash to people, annual formula funds, and bond proceeds are not grants. It defines who must follow the rules: Executive Branch agencies, not the Nevada System of Higher Education. A private nonprofit means an IRS 501(c)(3). A proper invoice must identify the grant and include documents required by the grant or by 2 C.F.R. Part 200. A payment includes required approvals by the State Board of Examiners, the Office of Finance Director, and the State Controller. These rules start July 1, 2026, and apply to grants executed, renewed, or extended on or after that date.

Nonprofits get notice for late payments

If a state grant-maker does not pay a proper invoice within 30 calendar days, it must send the nonprofit a written notice with the reason. The notice must go out as soon as possible after day 30. Each year, by October 1, the agency must send a list of these delay notices to the Office of Finance Director and the Legislative Counsel Bureau for the Interim Finance Committee. This applies to grants executed, renewed, or extended on or after July 1, 2026.

Stronger statewide plan to win federal funds

The Office of Federal Assistance coordinates with state grant-makers on advanced payments, risk checks, and following 2 C.F.R. Part 200 and other federal rules. The Director may set regulations to carry this out. The State Plan for Maximizing Federal Assistance must cover how to run grants well, including advanced payments to nonprofits and best practices for indirect costs. The plan also lists ways to expand opportunities, remove barriers, set tasks and timelines, and track performance. The Director posts the plan on the Office of Finance website. These changes take effect July 1, 2026.
