Nevada SB296 revises governmental transparency by prohibiting confidentiality agreements and declaring certain records public.

Nevada SB296 amends the Nevada Revised Statutes to enhance transparency in governmental processes. It prohibits governmental entities from entering into nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements unless the information is already confidential under state or federal law. Additionally, it declares that records related to the predecisional or deliberative process concerning rules, ordinances, or regulations are public records, even if shared between governmental entities or within a governmental entity. These changes do not apply to contracts entered into before October 1, 2025.
