Keep the Pressure On to Oppose SB256: CALL TO ACTION  
 

We expect the Senate to vote on SB256 on Monday - please take action NOW! If you think you've already taken action on this, please click on the link: if you have, it will tell you. If you tried previously and were told your Senator was not targeted, try again. We changed the target after the bill passed out of committee and ALL SENATORS are now targeted. Just one click to check and make sure!

The Senate is about to take action on SB256 - let your Senator know that you are OPPOSED to SB256.

You can find more details about SB256 in previous Advocates (4/5, 3/29, 3/22, 3/15), and how it would make several changes to landlord/tenant law that are of concern for property managers and homeowners.

  Deadline Days  
 

About 270 bills "died" last Friday, which was the deadline for the first house committee passage; some were tracked by NVR, but none were of critical importance for the industry.

Now we look to the next deadline: next Tuesday, April 23, is the first house passage deadline. All bills must pass out of their house of origin by then (unless exempt) in order to stay in play. As a result, the schedule for committee meetings has been lighter this week, with both houses focusing on floor sessions in order to pass bills out of their side of the building.

  Real Estate Licensing  
 

Quick update on SB230, which provides for various changes in licensing (details in 2/22 and 3/29 Advocates). It is currently on Second Reading File, which means it will go to a vote of the full Senate by Monday or Tuesday, therefore meeting the 4/23 deadline.

  Filing Requirements for the Commerce Tax  
 

Current law requires all businesses to file a commerce tax return, even though no tax is due if the business' Nevada gross revenue is $4M or less. SB497 would eliminate the requirement for businesses to file a commerce tax return if their Nevada gross revenue is $4M or less.

The measure passed out of Senate Revenue and Economic Development, and has been re-referred to Senate Finance. It has been declared exempt, therefore does not have to meet the deadlines of committee and house passage.

  Evictions  
 

Update on SB74, which we discussed in a previous Advocate (2/8): it passed out of the Senate unanimously on April 16 as amended. The amendment seeks to set the number of days to file a notice of appeal for a summary eviction in non-rent evictions to 10 (it was 5 in the original bill).

The measure was heard in Assembly Judiciary on April 19. If enacted, this bill would be effective for all actions pending or file on or after October 1, 2019.
