One year ago, the Nevada legislature passed AB 388, a bill that would have established paid family and medical leave for many Nevada workers. The legislation recognized a simple truth: no one should have to choose between caring for a loved one and earning a paycheck.

Unfortunately, Governor Joe Lombardo vetoed the bill, preventing it from becoming law.

Nevada families deserve policies that support workers, caregivers, children, and aging loved ones. Paid family leave helps families weather life’s most important moments with dignity and economic security.

Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada remains committed to advocating for policies that strengthen families and expand access to paid family and medical leave. As we prepare for the next legislative session, we will continue working with partners, lawmakers, and communities across the state to ensure Nevada families have the support they need.
