Bill
ACR 2
Allows eligible Nevada legislators traveling 50+ miles to Carson City for the 83rd session to receive up to $10,000 extra travel reimbursement, processed like other claims.
Status: Enrolled and delivered to the Secretary of State.
Brief purpose
- Allows Nevada state legislators who travel 50 miles or more between their home and Carson City to seek additional reimbursement for increased travel costs incurred while serving in the 83rd (2025) Session of the Nevada Legislature. The resolution sets an individual cap and prescribes administrative processing of claims.
Key provisions
- Eligible travel: Travel of 50 miles or more between a legislator’s home and Carson City, Nevada, for service during the 83rd (2025) Session.
- Extra reimbursement authorized: A legislator may submit a claim for any travel cost that exceeds the amount already authorized under NRS 218A.645.
- Per‑legislator cap: Additional reimbursement is available up to a maximum of $10,000 per legislator.
- Claim processing: Approved claims will be verified, processed, and paid in the same manner as claims under NRS 218A.645.
- Effective date: The resolution becomes effective upon adoption.
Who is affected
- Nevada state legislators who must travel at least 50 miles to Carson City to attend the 83rd (2025) legislative session and who incur travel costs above the statutory reimbursement limit.
- The Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB) is responsible for administering and processing any approved claims.
Administrative and fiscal notes
- Claims are handled administratively through the existing NRS 218A.645 claim procedures.
- The legislative digest indicates no referral to the Fiscal Committee; the resolution does not specify a statewide fiscal estimate. Payment of additional reimbursements would increase expenditures from whatever fund(s) the LCB uses to process legislators’ travel claims (amounts depend on claims submitted, subject to the $10,000 cap per legislator).
Procedural history and versions
- The enrolled language authorizing up to $10,000 in additional reimbursement is the operative text and was adopted and enrolled. Legislative records show multiple readings, committee actions, and final enrollment/delivery to the Secretary of State.
- Earlier draft language in the document record (alternate ACR 2 texts) proposed different reimbursement mechanics (e.g., administratively reallocating unused regular‑session travel allowances to cover special sessions). Those earlier concepts were superseded by the enrolled $10,000 supplemental reimbursement approach.
Note on mixed documents
- The file provided includes an unrelated concurrent resolution (also labeled “ACR 2” in other materials) recognizing March 21, 2025, as the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and declaring racism a public‑health crisis. That is a separate resolution and not the travel‑reimbursement ACR 2 summarized above.
