The table below provides links to selected portions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS - State laws) and the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC).

NRS:  The "Links" to NRS open individual pages for each major statute.  These pages provide an index of the referenced statute with links that point directly to the statutes (in HTML format) contained on the Legislative Counsel Bureaus website, i.e., the Nevada State Legislature.

NAC:  The Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) is the State of Nevada's code of state regulations.2  The LINKS to the NACs point directly to the Legislative Counsel Bureau's (LCB) website, and most of the links point directly to the NAC subsections on each webpage. Please note, however, because some of the pages on LCB's website are large, download time can be problematic particularly for users with 56KB modems.

It's also worth mentioning that NDEP is often involved in the rule making process, particularly after each biennial legislative session. In this process, regulations are adopted and in effect, yet have not been codified into the online NACs available on LCB's website noted above. Nevertheless, these adopted regulations are available on either the State Environmental Commission's (SEC) web site, or LCB website.

As way of background, in Nevada, the Legislature meets every two years with the session starting in February of the odd numbered year (e.g. 2005) and ending around May or June. When NDEP proposed new regulations, which typically result from new legislations, federal mandates and program enhancements, the agency "processes" the regulations through a public process involving the State Environmental Commission and the legal division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau. Once the regulations are adopted they are listed on LCB's website (Register of Administrative Regulations) as well as the SEC website mentioned above.

Download Problems: As noted above, some web pages on LCB's website are large and may take some time to download and/or may overwhelm a user's browser – if your browser "stalls," try hitting the stop button – this may allow the webpage to load properly.
