Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Lower-cost state housing for employees

Starting July 1, 2025, state agencies can lease state-owned homes to state officers or employees for less than market rent when the job requires it or the agency decides it benefits the State. The State Land Registrar can waive the lease application fee. Agencies must keep the rent in a separate account to operate and maintain those homes. Any money left at year-end stays with the homes and does not revert.

Cash and fund for fire response

Starting July 1, 2025, Nevada creates an Out-of-State Fire Suppression Account run by the State Forester; reimbursements for fires or emergencies outside Nevada go into it and can only pay those costs, and any balance carries forward. The State deposits $27,359,038 (about $27.36 million) to start the account. When reimbursements are delayed, the Director can request a short-term advance from the General Fund to pay fire or emergency bills due within 30 days. The advance can cover only approved, reimbursable bills up to the amount of outstanding invoices and must be repaid by the last business day in August after the fiscal year ends.

Dedicated account for forestry revenues

Starting July 1, 2025, money the State Forester receives for forest, rangeland, and watershed work, including special permit fees, must go into the Division of Forestry Account. The money is tracked separately, may be used only for those forestry purposes and related administration, and any balance carries forward instead of reverting.
