Help us Build a More Fair and Just Nevada at the Legislature
It's Your Time to Shine!
Nevada’s state lawmakers meet in Carson City every two years for 120 days to write and pass laws. This is our opportunity to create the change we want to see in our community and let our elected officials know what we need from them. However, corporations are also involved in the process to maximize their profits and kill bills that hold them accountable for exploiting our communities. That's how our state has ended up giving away billions of dollars to corporations like Tesla or billionaire sports team owners, while Governor Lombardo vetoes free lunch for students in Nevada.
We don't believe this should be the norm for our state. Nevadans deserve better. Nevada is home to the two fastest-warming cities, corporations are buying up single-family homes, and utilities are more expensive than ever.
Yet corporations continue to rake in record profits at the expense of our families. That's why this legislative session, we the people are DEMANDING that our legislators and Governor Lombardo support bills that will tackle the climate and housing crisis head-on. Below is the list of bills and bill draft requests that PLAN and our partners support. Please read through them and let us know which bills you support!
HOUSING JUSTICE
BDR 819 | SUMMARY EVICTION REFORM
This bill will reverse the punitive summary eviction process for tenants in non-commercial properties, requiring landlords to file first with the court when requesting an eviction order. Currently, it is up to the tenant to file with the court, which many tenants do not know. This will create a clearer, fairer, and more equitable process for tenants, while also encouraging greater engagement and involvement with the court system.
AB 223 | HABITABILITY
Tenants deserve a habitable home free of defects that could endanger health and safety. This bill will support tenants by improving access to recourse when there are habitability violations and supporting stronger enforcement of habitability requirements across essential services.
BDR 799 | RENT STABILIZATION
This bill will support rent stabilization measures, prohibiting landlords from increasing rents more than the determined cost of living increases published by the Housing Division each year. This does not apply to new construction.
BDR 328 | RENTER JUNK FEES
This bill seeks to eliminate or cap the amount of money that a landlord or property owner can charge renters over a tenant's lease term. Implementation aims to increase transparency in the rental housing market by uncovering any excessive, surprise, or arbitrary rental fees.
BDR 10-84 | CORPORATE HOUSING LIMITS
This bill would restrict corporate investors to a maximum of 100 single-family home purchases, per year.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
AB 96 | HEAT MITIGATION PLANNING
This bill will require local governments to adopt heat mitigation strategies in their master plans, such as establishing cooling centers, increasing shaded areas, providing drinking water stations, and expanding urban tree canopies.
BDR 961 | EXTREME WEATHER WORKING CONDITIONS
Employers must prioritize worker safety by implementing protective measures during unhealthy air quality. This includes providing necessary personal protective equipment and offering flexible work options. When air quality index (AQI) levels exceed 201, employers will halt outdoor operations to ensure the safety and well-being of their workers.
BDR 692 | FUNDING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VIA LIVE ENTERTAINMENT TAX REVENUE
This bill will reform the Live Entertainment Tax (LET) to include sports teams and will designate 1% of Live Entertainment Tax revenue for Nevada's Regional Transportation Commissions to support the development of sustainable, long-term mass transit solutions for all residents.
IMMIGRANT JUSTICE
AB 140 | DRIVER AUTHORIZATION CARDS
This bill would align driver authorization cards with regular license expiration dates.
