In addition to final passage votes, the Senate adopted numerous committee reports and amendments on the floor and referred newly introduced Senate bills (for example, SB 497 was referred to Health and Human Services). The floor also approved procedural motions allowing faster placement of measures on reading files for the remainder of the session and authorized immediate transmittal of measures to the Assembly when time permits.

Why it matters: The collected actions advance a broad set of policy changes that will move to the Assembly and, if concurred and signed, will change Nevada law on topics ranging from administrative procedure and records access to public safety, education and energy development.

Senator Pezzina, identified on the floor as the bill sponsor, summarized SB 89 and said the measure applies the firearms prohibition where the qualifying conviction occurred in the previous 10 years and that each firearm purchased by such a person would constitute a separate violation. The Senate summary also said the bill does not apply to a person who was convicted of any of the listed offenses prior to July 1, 2025 and who legally owned a firearm before that date.

Senator Dina Titus rose in opposition on the floor, arguing the bill \"undermines Nevada second amendment rights by imposing a decade long firearms ban for nonviolent misdemeanors like graffiti or offensive speech, a punishment that is disproportionate and unjust and unconstitutional.\" She urged colleagues to vote no.

After floor remarks, the Senate conducted a roll-call vote. The yeses were 12 and the noes were 8; the clerk declared SB 89 passed and ordered to the Assembly.

Why it matters: The measure creates a time-limited (10-year) firearms prohibition tied to certain hate-crime convictions and related violent offenses; the sponsor and opponent framed the bill in constitutional and public-safety terms during floor debate.

Text and carve-outs: The floor summary noted the statute is written to exclude persons convicted prior to July 1, 2025 from the new prohibition if they already legally owned firearms before that date.

Next steps: The bill was transmitted to the Assembly for consideration.","SB 89 bars firearm purchases and possession for anyone convicted in the prior 10 years of a gross-misdemeanor hate crime or certain violent offenses that constitute a hate crime; Senator Titus urged colleagues to vote no, calling the penalty disproportionate.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6701993,"Senate approves bill to create expedited arbitration for local government employee disputes, including teachers",286,2492000,2778000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3384682-cacee7b20914db609fcd94e33f56e396&start=2492&end=2778","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3384682-cacee7b20914db609fcd94e33f56e396/thumbnail_2492000.jpg","/articles/6701993/Nevada/Senate-approves-bill-to-create-expedited-arbitration-for-local-government-employee-disputes-including-teachers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6701993-abd4925407c52d67bc8cdd7f711f29fa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771089761&Signature=izCJNDA1wa5Dpn-yISKCAucjspAdHjZ6pbpa3HocwsRt3LfslxaUaYKewcQcwF2f6NYJEn0wKM1y2~OEs5bK3G3ugajOKCiMl15qJHIw4UNSIQEKPZtoUXTLtH5xiwH~TW4hifqxvDO2agWuKqqWBuizLuKE0cV27YgKOd25CR3XFhKef7tdkKMRpHn9wAd72FlMxZSqXUYf~xSHcbmEFYkGF-of~DLUyZ2DUSPo7EWVB9rSXcltViZIag718Ok34OfQvWIZoi0M4xczOBqOzJsttSjoCk8aGFMqa0AAgE5Bh8DF2uM-Nj6I2TI6DzqeqDuVdkZmb0f8lbhvnV7FFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nevada Senate on May 16 passed Senate Bill 161, a measure creating expedited arbitration procedures for disputes involving local government employees, including public school teachers, while leaving teacher strikes illegal.

Senator Rochelle Wynne, the bill’s sponsor, described SB 161 on the floor as the product of negotiations she said were intended to ‘‘level the playing field’’ between teachers and school districts and to avoid what she called an inflexible ballot initiative. \"Ballot initiatives are blunt instruments,\" Wynne said, arguing the bill would let the Legislature and stakeholders reach a compromise rather than have an initiative automatically place a permanent change into statute. She told colleagues the bill’s changes could allow organizers to withdraw a related ballot initiative if the bill is signed into law.

Wynne said the final bill — including amendment 6-11 adopted on the floor — removes a court-based path to authorize strikes and instead focuses on expedited arbitration to resolve compensation and contract disputes more quickly. \"Under this, the strike, a strike will remain illegal and teachers will not be able to go to court to change that,\" Wynne said. She said the expedited processes envisioned in the bill could resolve cases in roughly 30 to 60 days in some situations.

Senate roll call recorded 14 yes votes and 6 no votes; the clerk declared SB 161 passed and ordered to the Assembly.

Why it matters: Wynne said the bill responds to a scheduled 2026 ballot initiative that would give teachers a right to strike; she argued SB 161 provides a negotiated alternative that preserves legislative flexibility and creates faster dispute-resolution mechanisms for public-education funding and contract enforcement.

Background and details: The bill was described on the floor as the result of negotiations with the governor’s office and stakeholders. An amendment adopted on the floor (6-11) removed certain provisions and clarified dates tied to expedited arbitration procedures. The bill’s effective date was listed on the floor as \"upon passage and approval.\" The sponsor said removing the court remedy for strikes was a key component of the compromise.

Votes at the end of the floor debate were taken by roll call. The Senate journal shows the yeses were 14 and the noes were 6; the clerk declared the constitutional majority met and ordered the measure to the Assembly.

The Senate action does not itself implement the arbitration procedures; it sends SB 161 to the Assembly and, if both houses concur and the bill is approved, provisions would take effect according to the bill’s effective-date language.

No amendment to create a right to strike was adopted on the Senate floor; the sponsor and the body characterized the measure as a compromise that keeps strikes unlawful while creating an expedited arbitration process.","The Nevada Senate passed SB 161, a bill that preserves the illegality of teacher strikes but establishes expedited arbitration procedures for certain disputes between school districts and teachers; sponsor said the measure is a negotiated compromise that could replace a proposed ballot initiative.","actionData","errors"]
