AB 125 — Summary (Chapter 70, 2025)

Status: Approved by the Governor (Chapter 70). Introduced Jan 8, 2025; enrolled and delivered to Governor May 27, 2025; approved May 28, 2025.

Purpose

AB 125 amends Nevada law governing the State’s official public notice website to improve public access to meeting schedules and contact links for public bodies. The change implements and clarifies how notices and schedules required by the Open Meeting Law must be posted on the Department of Administration’s statewide posting location.

Key provisions

  • Amends NRS 232.2175 to require the Department of Administration to ensure the State’s official website posting location:
    • Includes a place to post a schedule of meetings of public bodies that provides public notice of a meeting at least 3 working days before the meeting (consistent with NRS 241.020, the Open Meeting Law).
    • Includes a place to post electronic links to each public body’s website or email address (if available), enabling requesters to obtain meeting information and supporting materials required under NRS 241.020.
  • Requires the Department to provide for:
    • Transmission to the Department by public bodies of notices, meeting schedules, and the public body’s website or email addresses for posting.
    • Timely and efficient posting of those notices, schedules, and links on the State website.
  • Authorizes the Department to adopt regulations to implement these requirements.

Who is affected

  • Department of Administration: responsible for modifying and maintaining the State posting site and may need to adopt implementing regulations.
  • Public bodies (state agencies, boards, commissions, and other entities subject to NRS 241.020): must transmit meeting notices, schedules, and online contact information for posting.
  • Members of the public and requesters: gain centralized access to meeting schedules, notices, and links to obtain meeting materials.

Potential impacts

  • Administrative/technical costs to the Department of Administration to create and maintain the new schedule/posting features and to process transmissions from public bodies.
  • Possible fiscal effects on local government or other public bodies to comply with submission requirements; the fiscal note indicates the measure “may have fiscal impact” locally and “Effect on the State: Yes.”

Legislative history (select)

  • Passed Assembly and Senate (various readings March–May 2025).
  • Enrolled May 27, 2025; approved by Governor May 28, 2025 (Chapter 70).

Legal context

  • Implements and clarifies posting requirements tied to Nevada’s Open Meeting Law (NRS 241.020) by modifying state website posting procedures under NRS 232.2175.
