Nevada SB334 revises employment provisions for offenders, requiring them to be paid progressively increasing percentages of the state minimum wage.

Nevada SB334 amends the employment provisions for offenders, mandating that they receive wages that increase incrementally to reach the state minimum wage by July 1, 2029. The bill also requires the Legislative Auditor to conduct an audit of offender wages from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2029, to ensure compliance with these wage requirements. The Director of the Department must report to the Joint Interim Standing Committee on the Judiciary if a state-sponsored program incurs a net loss for two consecutive fiscal years, providing a plan to generate a profit in the subsequent year.
