THIRTY-SIXTH SPECIAL SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE
2025
Senate Bill No. 3-Select Committee on Health and Wellness
CHAPTER I
[Approved: November 18, 2025]
AN ACT relating to public assistance; establishing the Silver State General
Assistance Program within the Division of Social Services of the
Department of Human Services; setting forth the powers and duties
of the Administrator of the Division relating to the Program; creating
the Account for the Silver State General Assistance Program;
authorizing a transfer to that Account from the unrestricted balance of
the State General Fund under certain circumstances; and providing
other matters properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel's Digest:
Existing law requires the Division of Social Services of the Department of
Human Services to administer various programs of public assistance. (Chapter 422A
of NRS) Sections 2-9 of this bill establish the Silver State General Assistance
Program within the Division to provide temporary financial or in-kind assistance to
eligible persons and households who are experiencing an extraordinary circumstance.
Section 3 defines extraordinary circumstance as an event, condition or situation
that creates an unusual or significant need for State intervention to protect the health,
safety or general welfare of the residents of this State, including a disruption in the
provision of, suspension of or any related reduction in benefits provided under a
program of public assistance. Section 6 requires the Administrator of the Division to
administer the Program within the limitations of available money.
Section 7 prescribes requirements relating to eligibility for assistance under the
Program and requires the adoption of regulations for the administration of the
Program. Under existing law, the adoption of such regulations is exempt from
the Nevada Administrative Procedure Act. (NRS 233B.039) However, the
Administrator is required to comply with a procedure set forth in existing law for
adopting regulations for programs administered by the Division, which includes 30
days' notice of the intended adoption. (NRS 422A.190) Sections 7 and 13 of this bill
exempt the Administrator from this procedure when adopting regulations for the
administration of the Program under certain circumstances, but require such advance
notice of such regulations as is practicable and the posting of the notice and
regulations on the Internet website of the Division.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.ssl/ssnv0147&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
