2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

After the Gavel: Nevada

Democrats hold 13 of 21 Senate seats and 27 of 42 Assembly seats this session, a majority in both chambers but one seat short in each of the two-thirds margin needed to override a veto. Governor Joe Lombardo is a Republican, so Nevada runs under divided government this session.

After the Gavel analyzed bills from Nevada's 83rd Legislature, 2025 Regular Session, organized into 6 posts. Some are grouped by theme, because a single bill rarely tells the whole story and related bills, read together, usually do.

This is our read of the bill. We encourage every reader to read the legislation for themselves and reach their own conclusions.

Every post links to the enrolled text in the Nevada Legislature's NELIS system. Every claim here traces to the bill text, the enrolled law, or a named outside source.
