2025-2026 Regular Session Introduced by Tyler August and 1 co-sponsor

Elects Assembly attaches for the 83rd Session and, for the 36th Special Session, eliminates allowances for postage, stamps, stationery and telephone charges.

Adopted, Ayes 84, Noes 14

Summary — Assembly Resolution No. 2 (AR 2)

Status: Enrolled and delivered to the Secretary of State (File Nos. 2 & 3).
Introduced: February 3, 2025 (83rd Session) and November 12, 2025 (36th Special Session).
Primary sponsor: Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections.
Type: Assembly resolution (internal legislative action, not a statute).

Purpose

AR 2 is an Assembly resolution used in two different forms during 2025. Its enacted texts (both “as enrolled” versions) perform two distinct, internal Assembly functions:
1. Officially elect a list of people as Assembly attaches for the 83rd Session of the Nevada Legislature.
2. Provide that, for the 36th Special Session, no allowances will be paid to Assembly members or certain Assembly leaders for periodicals, postage, stationery or communications (telephone) charges.

Both resolutions state they become effective upon adoption.

Key provisions

Appointment of Assembly attaches (83rd Session)

The resolution formally elects a long, individually named list of persons as “attaches of the Assembly” for the 83rd Session. Each named person is listed in the enrolled text (full roster included in the official enrolled resolution).
The resolution does not specify duties, compensation, or term beyond identifying these persons as attaches for the session — such details are governed by Assembly rules and administrative practice.

Restriction on allowances for the 36th Special Session

For the 36th Special Session, no allowances will be paid to Assembly members for:
periodicals,
stamps,
stationery,
use of telephones.
No allowances will be paid to the Speaker, Speaker Pro Tempore, Majority Leader, Minority Leader, or committee chairs for postage, telephone tolls, or other charges for communications.
Effective immediately upon adoption for that special session.

Who is affected

The appointment resolution affects the named attaches (they are officially recognized as Assembly attaches for the 83rd Session).

The allowances resolution affects all members of the Assembly and the listed leadership positions during the 36th Special Session by eliminating certain reimbursements/allowances for communications and related items.

Procedural / timeline notes

The attaches resolution was introduced/read and adopted in early February 2025 and enrolled/delivered to the Secretary of State (File No. 2) in February 2025.

The allowances resolution was introduced/prefiled and adopted in November 2025 for the 36th Special Session and was enrolled/delivered (File No. 3) on November 14, 2025.

Both versions became effective upon adoption, as the enrolled texts state.

Practical implications

Appointment: Formalizes the roster of Assembly attaches so they can serve in assigned capacities during the 83rd Session; operational details (assignments, pay) typically handled by legislative administration.

Allowances restriction: Reduces or eliminates certain communication-related reimbursements for the short special session, shifting minor costs to members or requiring use of institutional resources; impacts administrative budgeting for communications during that special session.
