Happy July, Nevada!

While many of us are thinking about barbecues, road trips, and staying cool, 24 new Nevada laws officially took effect on July 1!

Some of the changes include:
More opportunities to build backyard casitas (ADUs)
New school cellphone policies
Expanded behavioral health initiatives
Protections related to Nevada’s extreme heat
Consumer and homeowner protections
…and much more!

Most people don’t realize it, but laws passed during the legislative session don’t usually take effect right away. July 1 is when many of those ideas become reality.

This is a reminder that advocacy works. Every phone call, testimony, meeting with a legislator, email, and vote can help shape policies that affect our families and communities.

At LEAN, we’ll be breaking down these new laws over the coming weeks and exploring what they mean through the lens of faith and the common good.
