AB 559 — Summary (2025 Session, Chapter 305)

Main purpose

AB 559 provides a supplemental appropriation from the State General Fund to the Office of the Extradition Coordinator in the Office of the Attorney General to cover an unanticipated shortfall in extradition-related costs. The bill supplements a prior appropriation made in 2023.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $1,518,208 from the State General Fund to the Office of the Extradition Coordinator within the Office of the Attorney General.
    • The bill was originally drafted to appropriate $1,250,690 but was amended (Amendment No. 712 / first reprint) to increase the amount to $1,518,208.
  • States that the appropriation is supplemental to the funding made by section 4 of chapter 209, Statutes of Nevada 2023 (page 1235).
  • Declares the act effective upon passage and approval by the Governor.

The bill text does not itemize specific line‑item uses; it identifies the purpose generally as addressing an unanticipated shortfall related to extradition costs (e.g., costs the State incurs to effectuate interstate or international extraditions).

Fiscal impact

  • Funding source: State General Fund.
  • Effect on local government: None reported.
  • Effect on the state: Contains an appropriation that was included in the Executive Budget submission (per the fiscal note language in the amendment).

Who is affected

  • Primary recipient: Office of the Extradition Coordinator, Office of the Attorney General — resources to carry out extradition coordination and associated operational costs.
  • No new obligations or duties are imposed on other state agencies or local governments by the bill text.

Procedural and timeline information

  • Introduced: February 12, 2025 (read first time; to print).
  • Assembly passage: Passed the Assembly (recorded actions in April–May 2025).
  • Amended (Assembly Amendment No. 712 / first reprint) to increase the appropriation to $1,518,208 (May 2025).
  • Enrolled and delivered to the Governor: May 29, 2025.
  • Approved by the Governor: June 5, 2025.
  • Chaptered: Chapter 305 (effective upon passage and approval — June 6, 2025).

Additional notes

  • The bill text and amendment identify the appropriation as “supplemental,” meaning it augments prior appropriations for the same purpose rather than creating an ongoing programmatic change.
  • The legislative record includes committee referrals and reprints; the enacted document is the first reprint reflecting the increased appropriation amount.
