Nearly 300 proposed laws in the state legislature failed to move forward by the first major deadline this session with most never receiving a public hearing.
These bills covered a wide range of issues—some addressing workplace protections, others pushing for criminal justice reforms or consumer rights. They didn’t fail because of a vote, but simply because they missed the deadline to get a committee hearing.
Among the proposals left behind: one that would have updated and streamlined Nevada’s insurance laws, potentially improving regulation and consumer protections across a range of health coverage plans; another aimed at expanding access to mental health services in schools; and a measure to allow parole for some older incarcerated people.
We’ve built an interactive chart so you can explore all 278 bills that missed the deadline and are now considered dead.
