PLANistas, It's Your Time to Shine!
Every two years, Nevada’s future While corporations push for profit-driven policies, we’re fighting for what matters: affordable housing, climate action, and family-first legislation. Join us in demanding our legislators prioritize people over profits. Together, we can build a Nevada that works for everyone.
BUILDING A MORE FAIR AND JUST NEVADA
The Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN) is a 501c3 statewide social justice coalition founded in 1994 by Nevada activists to build a more fair and just Nevada that puts people and planet first. We organize with front line communities and directly impacted leaders for policy changes and community investments that improve the lives of Nevadans. We serve a coalition of almost 40 member groups across various issue. During the 2025 legislative session PLAN has collectively prioritized working on issues relating to housing and tenant rights, human health and the environment, and immigration rights.
HOUSING BILLS
AB 283
SUMMARY EVICTION REFORM
This bill will reverse the punitive summary eviction process for tenants in non-commercial properties, requiring landlords to file first with the court when requesting an eviction order. Currently, it is up to the tenant to filewith the court, which many tenants do not know. This will create a clearer, fairer, and more equitable process for tenants, while also encouraging greater engagement and involvement with the court system.
AB 223
HABITABILITY
Tenants deserve a habitable home free of defects that could endanger health and safety. This bill will support tenants by improving access to recourse when there are habitability violations and supporting stronger enforcement of habitability requirements across essential services.
BDR 799
RENT STABILIZATION
Rent stability protects tenants from excessive rent increases by creating a schedule for reasonable and gradual rent increases, while ensuring that landlords receive a fair return on their investment. This bill will support rent stabilization measures, prohibiting landlords from increasing rents more than the determined cost of living increases published by the Housing Division each year. This does not apply to new construction.
AB 121
RENTAL FEE TRANSPARENCY
This bill seeks to eliminate or cap the amount of money that a landlord or property owner can charge renters over a tenant’ s lease term. Implementation aims to increase transparency in the rental housing
market by uncovering any excessive, surprise, or arbitrary rental fees.
IMMIGRATION BILLS
AB 140
DRIVER AUTHORIZATION CARD REVISIONS
A driver authorization card will expire according to the regulations set by the Department of Motor Vehicles, rather than every four years. This change would also ensure that the duration between the issuance and expiration of a driver authorization card matches the duration between the issuance and expiration of a driver’s license.
ENVIRONMENTAL BILLS
AB 96
HEAT MITIGATION PLANNING
This bill will require local governments to adopt heat mitigation strategies in their master plans, such as establishing cooling centers, increasing shaded areas, providing drinking water stations, and expanding urban tree canopies.
SB 260
EXTREME WEATHER WORKING CONDITIONS - AIR QUALITY
During times of unhealthy air quality, employers must prioritize worker safety by implementing protective measures. This includes providing necessary personal protective equipment and offering flexible work options. When air quality index (AQI) levels exceed 201, employers will halt outdoor operations to ensure the safety and well-being of their workers.
BDR 692
FUNDING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VIA LIVE ENTERTAINMENT TAX REVENUE
This bill will reform the Live Entertainment Tax (LET) to include sports teams and will designate 1% of Live Entertainment Tax revenue for Nevada’s Regional Transportation Commissions to support the development of sustainable, long-term mass transit solutions for all residents.

The Nevada Legislature is bicameral, consisting of two chambers. The Assembly (lower house) has 42 members serving two-year terms, while the Senate (upper house) has 21 members serving four-year terms. Both chambers must pass identical versions of a bill before it can go to the Governor for signature or veto. Assembly districts are smaller and represent fewer constituents than Senate districts, as there are twice as many Assembly members as Senators. Each chamber also has its own leadership structure and committee system.
