The Assembly Committee on Judiciary convened on May 16, 2025, to discuss several key legislative measures. The meeting focused on a series of Senate bills, each addressing various aspects of law and public policy in Nevada.
The session began with Senate Bill 46, which governs gaming regulations. Sponsored by the Senate Committee on Judiciary on behalf of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the bill was presented without amendments. After a brief discussion, Vice Chair Marzola moved to amend and pass the bill, which received unanimous support from the committee members.
Next, Senate Bill 87 was reviewed, which revises provisions related to forensic medical examinations. This bill included an amendment proposed by Liz Ottenberger of Safeness, requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to set annual reimbursement rates for medical providers conducting these examinations. Following a motion from Vice Chair Marzola and a second from Assembly Member Gray, the committee unanimously approved the bill.
Senate Bill 120, which revises provisions related to the administration of justice, was also discussed. With no amendments proposed, the committee moved swiftly to pass the bill, again with unanimous support.
Senate Bill 125, focusing on services for victims of crime, followed a similar path. After a motion from Vice Chair Marzola and a second from Assembly Member Cole, the bill passed unanimously without any amendments.
The committee then addressed Senate Bill 140, which revises treatment programs established by juvenile courts. An amendment to add Assembly Member Hanson as a co-sponsor was noted, and the bill passed unanimously after a motion from Vice Chair Marzola.
Senate Bill 141, concerning local detention facilities, was presented next. With no amendments, the committee moved to pass the bill unanimously after a motion from Vice Chair Marzola and a second from Assembly Member Nadim.
Finally, Senate Bill 142, which revises provisions governing property exempt from execution, was discussed. Although the bill was met with some dissent, particularly from Assembly Member Grama, who expressed the need for further research, the motion to pass the bill was approved with a majority vote.
In summary, the meeting concluded with all discussed bills passing unanimously, except for Senate Bill 142, which faced opposition but ultimately moved forward. The committee's actions reflect a continued commitment to refining Nevada's legal framework and addressing the needs of its citizens.
