Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
2 instruments in Nevada. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.
A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.
▲Expands benefitsRequires an interview for every qualified disabled veteran and for other qualified veterans up to at least 22 percent of those interviewed.
NRS 284.265, subsection 2 now requires an appointing authority to interview for the position each veteran with a service-connected disability who is a qualified applicant, and, where there are qualified applicants who are veterans without a service-connected disability, to interview a number of such veterans equal to at least 22 percent of the total number of qualified applicants interviewed for the position, or all of them if there are not enough to reach that percentage, with percentages that are not whole numbers rounded to the next highest whole number. The section was amended in 2017 and again in 2023, and NRS 284.260 was amended in the same 2023 session to add a member of the Nevada National Guard who submits a letter of recommendation from the commanding officer of the member’s unit to the groups given preference in establishing pools of eligible persons. Tracked because it is the only percentage interview quota in this catalog and is materially stronger than the one-interview policy in South Carolina or the equally-qualified tie-breaker in New Hampshire, and because published descriptions of Nevada veteran employment benefits still describe it as a preference rather than as a mandatory interview obligation. The obligations run on qualified applicant status as the centralised system established under NRS 284.107 records it, so a veteran whose status is recorded only in a cover letter may not be counted.
▲Expands benefitsRequires outreach and discharge upgrade assistance for LGBT veterans and bars denying them benefits on that basis.
Added NRS 417.121, which obliges the Director of the Department of Veterans Services to conduct outreach to, and provide assistance designed for the unique needs of, veterans and members of the military who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender and their spouses and dependents, including assistance in applying for an upgrade to the character of the veteran’s discharge or a change in the narrative reason for the veteran’s discharge, and to make informational materials on both processes available to agencies, resource centres and programmes serving veterans in the state. Subsection 2 defines veteran for the section as a resident of this State who meets the qualifications of subsection 1 of NRS 417.005, and pointedly does not import subsection 2 of that definition, which requires separation under conditions other than dishonorable. Tracked because that omission makes this the only provision in the Nevada file open to a veteran with an other than honorable, bad conduct or dishonorable discharge, which is the population the section exists to help, and because no published summary of Nevada veteran benefits records that the discharge condition is absent. The section names two distinct remedies that are often conflated: a change in the character of service, which unlocks benefits, and a change in the narrative reason, which removes the stated ground from a record that may already show honorable service. The section was amended in 2019 and again in 2025.
