Weakening Self-Defense and Second Amendment Rights by Restricting Firearm Possession Near Election Sites.
With CEA
This bill prohibits most individuals from possessing a firearm in or within 100 feet of an entrance to an election site and creates new criminal penalties for violations, including felony charges if the firearm is possessed with intent related to election activity. The measure establishes broad firearm-free zones around polling places and ballot drop locations, requires government-posted warning signage, and expands state enforcement authority over otherwise lawful conduct. By extending firearm prohibitions into public spaces surrounding election sites and criminalizing lawful possession based on proximity, the bill expands government power and restricts constitutional rights beyond what is necessary to ensure election security.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because "gun free zones" do not protect communities, rather they place individuals in defenseless positions against criminals who do not abide by the law.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, public safety should be pursued in a manner that respects individual liberty and the God-given right to self-defense. Broad restrictions on lawful firearm possession risk undermining personal responsibility and freedom while expanding state authority beyond proper limits.
Luke 22:36 – "He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus affirms the right to self-defense. Preparedness is not paranoia - it's stewardship of safety. Leaders who defend the Second Amendment defend the biblical principle that protection is both a right and a responsibility. Security begins with the citizen, not the state.

Growing Government Interference in Private Rental Agreements and Payment Practices Through New Mandates.
Against CEA
This bill imposes new requirements on landlords governing how rent and fees must be disclosed, collected, and paid, including mandating at least one fee-free payment method, capping online payment fees, restricting application and screening fees, and requiring rent to be advertised and stated as a single bundled amount that includes mandatory charges. The measure also authorizes tenants to bring civil actions for certain violations and mandates refunds and statutory damages, while prescribing detailed formatting and disclosure rules for rental agreements. As a result, the bill expands state regulation of private rental contracts and payment practices, increases litigation exposure for property owners, and substitutes government mandates for voluntary, negotiated terms in the housing market.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it imposes mandates, enforcement mechanisms, and civil liability that increase government involvement in private rental agreements and reduce flexibility for property owners and tenants.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, fairness in housing should be pursued with honesty and mutual responsibility rather than excessive regulation. Expanding government control over private agreements risks undermining stewardship, trust, and the ability of families and property owners to responsibly manage housing relationships.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on those who issue oppressive decrees - regulations, mandates, and compliance requirements that crush businesses and deprive workers of opportunity. Operational freedom fights the bureaucratic oppression that kills small businesses, prevents entrepreneurship, and protects established interests at the expense of new entrants. When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.

Strengthening Medicaid Oversight and Accountability by Expanding the Attorney General's Authority to Investigate Fraud.
Against CEA
This bill expands the authority of the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit by allowing subpoenas to compel sworn testimony and written interrogatories, in addition to documents and records, during civil Medicaid fraud investigations. The measure also clarifies enforcement procedures for subpoenas through the courts and aligns state false claims provisions more closely with federal standards, improving coordination and effectiveness in fraud enforcement. By enhancing investigative tools and clarifying enforcement authority, the bill strengthens the state's ability to detect, investigate, and deter Medicaid fraud, protecting taxpayer resources and promoting accountability in public assistance programs.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because effective enforcement against fraud protects taxpayers, preserves program integrity, and ensures public resources are not diverted through abuse or deception.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires that public resources intended to serve the vulnerable are protected from fraud and misuse. Strengthening the ability to investigate and deter Medicaid fraud promotes accountability and helps ensure assistance reaches those truly in need.
Isaiah 55:2 – "Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare."
Leadership Insight
God questions spending on what fails to nourish or satisfy. Healthcare freedom means rejecting one-size-fits-all mandates that force individuals and employers into systems that violate conscience or fail to meet real needs. Leaders who protect healthcare choice allow families and businesses to pursue treatments, coverage, and providers aligned with their values - "eating what is good" rather than consuming what government prescribes.

Hiking Taxpayer Costs by Expanding Public School Collective Bargaining to Include Classroom Staffing Ratios.
Against CEA
This bill revises the state's collective bargaining law to make pupil-to-teacher ratios and pupil-to-specialized instructional support personnel ratios mandatory subjects of collective bargaining in public schools. Under current law, staffing levels and ratios are largely reserved to school district management and guided by nonbinding recommendations from the State Board of Education, but this measure allows collectively bargained agreements to override those recommendations and removes staffing decisions from administrative discretion. Allowing staffing ratios to be set through collective bargaining agreements transfers core operational authority from elected school boards to labor negotiations and limits flexibility for districts to respond to budget constraints, enrollment changes, and local needs.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it expands the scope of collective bargaining into fundamental management decisions, reducing accountability and limiting the ability of school districts to govern staffing based on local conditions and fiscal responsibility.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, education decisions should prioritize stewardship, accountability, and the well-being of students and communities. Shifting control over classroom staffing to collective bargaining risks placing institutional interests above responsible governance and the proper use of public resources.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who deprive workers of their rights through forced union membership, mandatory dues extraction, and laws that trap workers in systems they never chose. Workforce freedom is justice for the oppressed worker - the right to keep their full paycheck, to negotiate directly with employers, and to be free from coercive representation. Unjust labor laws that force workers to fund political causes they oppose are exactly the oppressive decrees Isaiah condemns.

Weakening Private Property Rights by Requiring HOAs to Allow Child Care Operations in Residential Properties.
Against CEA
This bill prohibits unit-owners' associations in most common-interest communities from banning the operation of certain licensed child care facilities within a unit, even if existing governing documents would otherwise restrict such uses. The measure also authorizes tenants, unless expressly prohibited by a rental agreement, to operate a licensed child care facility serving between 5 and 12 children from their dwelling unit, while limiting the ability of associations to regulate these uses beyond narrow, state-defined conditions. Restricting the ability of HOAs and landlords to establish and enforce their own rules infringes on private property rights, weakens freedom of contract, and expands state intervention into private residential governance.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it is not the role of government to dictate the private contractual agreements and operations of HOAs. HOAs serve as free-market alternatives to government zoning and land use standards, as individuals can choose the restrictiveness of the community they wish to join or select to live on property outside the governance of an HOA.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families and communities flourish when responsibilities and decisions are handled at the most local level possible. Mandating the use of private homes for commercial purposes disregards stewardship, consent, and the importance of honoring voluntary agreements within communities.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight

Protecting Privacy and Free Association by Limiting Government Collection and Disclosure of Nonprofit Donor Information.
With CEA
This bill requires personal information that identifies donors, members, or volunteers of nonprofit organizations to be kept confidential by government entities and prohibits the government from requesting, collecting, or publicly disclosing such information, with limited exceptions. The measure also restricts the Secretary of State and Attorney General from collecting or using donor-identifying information beyond narrow, authorized purposes and provides a civil cause of action when the government unlawfully releases protected information. By limiting government surveillance, data collection, and disclosure of nonprofit affiliations, the bill safeguards privacy, free association, and religious and civic participation while restraining unnecessary government intrusion into the activities of private organizations.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because it curtails government overreach, protects individual privacy, and prevents the misuse of sensitive personal information by state actors.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, individuals should be free to support religious and charitable organizations without fear of government monitoring or retaliation. Protecting donor privacy upholds freedom of conscience and allows faith communities to serve others without undue interference from the state.
Galatians 2:4 – "False believers infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves."
Leadership Insight
Not every ally defends liberty. Some enter to dilute conviction. Guarding freedom requires discernment - leaders must recognize deception disguised as tolerance.

Reducing Transparency and Public Accountability by Automatically Sealing Eviction and Lockout Court Records.
With CEA
This bill significantly expands the automatic sealing of eviction case court files by requiring records to be sealed in additional circumstances, including when a landlord fails to respond to a tenant's motion, when certain appeals are resolved, or when time has elapsed after an eviction order, while also creating a presumption in favor of sealing cases more than one year old. The measure further requires the automatic sealing of court records related to unjustified lockouts once appeals are resolved, and deems sealed proceedings to have "never occurred" for all purposes. Restricting landlord access to accurate housing history information drives-up rental costs for everyone by exposing landlords to additional risk and expense.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because automatic and presumptive sealing of court records undermines transparency, restricts public access to judicial information, and interferes with the fair functioning of housing and rental markets.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, justice depends on truth, accountability, and transparency in public institutions. Automatically erasing court records risks undermining trust in the legal system and the moral responsibility to address disputes honestly and openly.

Growing Government Overreach Through New Restrictions on Medical Debt Collection.
With CEA
This bill imposes extensive new restrictions on how health care entities and collection agencies may collect medical debt, including prohibitions on liens against primary residences, bank account seizures, tax refund garnishments, and the use of credit reporting, while delaying or barring collection actions for lengthy periods. The measure also creates detailed notice requirements, tolls statutes of limitation during emergencies, mandates refunds, and prohibits the waiver of these protections, significantly altering the legal rights of creditors and collectors. Expanding blanket prohibitions, procedural mandates, and enforcement limits on lawful debt collection shifts private financial disputes into heavily regulated state control and undermines contract enforcement and accountability in health care markets.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because, instead of weaponizing government, lawmakers should work to reduce regulations to provide greater access to healthcare and drive down costs for patients.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, compassion for those facing medical hardship should be balanced with personal responsibility and fairness. Overly restricting lawful debt collection risks undermining accountability and the trust necessary for sustainable health care and community stewardship.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."

Weakening Parental Rights in Education by Shifting to an Automatic Opt-In for Sex Education Instruction.
With CEA
This bill replaces the existing "opt-in" model of parental consent for sex education in public schools with an "opt-out" model. Previously, parental consent was required for a student to receive sex education instruction. Under this bill, parental consent is no longer required, and parents must instead opt out if they do not want their child to receive such instruction. Rather than requiring affirmative parental consent before a student may participate, the measure presumes participation unless a parent or guardian submits a written refusal, fundamentally changing the default standard. This change weakens parental authority by expanding state influence over family decisions and eroding protections that ensure parents retain primary responsibility for their child's education.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because strong parental rights in their child's education are a critical element of a free society. Children should not be subjected to sensitive topics without the consent of parents.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents are entrusted with the primary responsibility to guide the moral and spiritual formation of their children, not the state. Shifting to an automatic opt-in for sensitive instruction diminishes that responsibility and disregards the importance of parental involvement in matters of conscience and values.
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Leadership Insight
When truth is silenced, darkness prevails. The apostles refused to edit their message for cultural comfort. Faithful leaders must speak what God says, even when it costs influence.

Weakening Immigration Enforcement by Creating Sanctuaries in Public Schools.
Against CEA
This bill prohibits school districts, public schools, and their employees from allowing federal immigration officials access to school grounds or facilities, or from providing student education records or information about a pupil or the pupil's family, unless presented with a lawful court order or warrant. The measure extends these restrictions to state and local law enforcement officers engaged in immigration enforcement and subjects school employees to disciplinary action for noncompliance. Restricting cooperation with lawful immigration enforcement within public schools places institutional barriers between government agencies, elevates school administrators' discretion over the rule of law, and expands state-imposed limitations that interfere with lawful enforcement responsibilities.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because ensuring public safety and national defense is arguably the most important role of government. Failure to secure our nation's border and deport those residing in the country unlawfully not only has catastrophic implications on the ability to maintain law and order, but also creates countless other issues, ranging from welfare to the education system.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, compassion for families must be balanced with respect for lawful authority and the rule of law. Policies that prevent cooperation with legitimate law enforcement risk undermining justice, accountability, and the proper role of government institutions.
Romans 13:1-4 – "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
Leadership Insight
Government authority is legitimate only when it reflects God's design - to punish evil and reward good. Leaders submit to righteous authority but resist tyranny. Romans 13 is not a blank check for government overreach; it's a framework for godly governance rooted in justice.

Promoting Abortion and Sex-Reassignment Procedures by Expanding Confidentiality Protections for Providers.
With CEA
This bill authorizes health care providers who practice in reproductive health, employees or volunteers of facilities providing reproductive health services, providers of gender-affirming care, and their immediate family members to obtain court orders requiring county recorders, assessors, elections officials, and the Department of Motor Vehicles to keep personal information confidential or display alternate addresses on official records. The measure significantly expands existing confidentiality programs beyond judges, law enforcement, and other public safety officials to include broad categories of private health care providers and related individuals based on the type of medical services provided. Granting special privacy protections to select professions based on state-favored activities expands government involvement in public records administration and creates unequal treatment under the law by carving out broad exceptions from transparency requirements. Oppose.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, justice and fairness require equal treatment under the law and restraint in the use of government power. Creating special protections for select groups risks undermining transparency, accountability, and the moral principle that laws should apply evenly to all.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.

Hiking Consumer Costs Through an Overreaching Ban on Polystyrene Food Containers.
With CEA
This bill prohibits food dispensing establishments from selling, preparing, providing, or transporting food or beverages using disposable food containers made wholly or partially from polystyrene foam, with the ban applying first to certain multi-location businesses and later expanding to all food establishments statewide. The measure enforces compliance through civil penalties of up to $100 per day and requires businesses to transition away from a common, low-cost packaging material regardless of individual operational needs or consumer preferences. Mandating a statewide ban on specific food packaging materials and enforcing it through civil penalties expands government regulation of private business operations and limits market-driven choices in the food service industry and drives up costs for businesses, which are then passed onto consumers in the form of higher prices.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it serves as yet another mandate which infringes business and consumer choice for food packaging and unnecessarily drives up cost.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship should encourage responsible innovation without unnecessary coercion. Broad government mandates that restrict lawful business practices risk harming small enterprises and families while exceeding the proper limits of state authority.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."

Weakening Individual Liberties and Infringing Second Amendment Rights by Increasing the Age to Possess Certain Firearms to 21.
With CEA
This bill prohibits adults under the age of 21 from possessing semiautomatic shotguns and semiautomatic centerfire rifles, criminalizes the sale or transfer of those firearms to individuals under 21, and imposes new criminal penalties on parents or other adults who allow such possession under specified circumstances. The measure also expands negligent storage laws, restricts longstanding hunting and sporting exceptions for minors, and increases felony exposure tied to firearm access based solely on age rather than conduct. Expanding age-based prohibitions and criminal penalties for lawful firearm possession places broad state restrictions on constitutional rights, substitutes blanket mandates for individual responsibility, and increases government control over lawful firearm ownership and family decisions.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because James Madison and our nation's other founding fathers understood that the right to keep and bear arms is a crucial individual liberty and protects the citizenry against a tyrannical government. The state should not infringe the individual liberties of adults who at age 18 can fight for our country, vote, and enter into legally binding contracts.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, public safety should be pursued with responsibility and respect for individual liberty and family authority. Broad government restrictions that criminalize lawful conduct risk undermining freedom, stewardship, and the proper limits of state power.
Luke 22:36 – "He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus affirms the right to self-defense. Preparedness is not paranoia - it's stewardship of safety. Leaders who defend the Second Amendment defend the biblical principle that protection is both a right and a responsibility. Security begins with the citizen, not the state.

Expanding Healthcare Regulation by Imposing Price Controls on Prescription Drug Purchasing and Reimbursement.
With CEA
This bill prohibits purchasers and payers in Nevada from paying or seeking reimbursement for certain prescription drugs at prices above the federally determined "maximum fair price" and treats violations as deceptive trade practices subject to civil enforcement and private lawsuits. The measure effectively imports federal price-setting into state law and authorizes state enforcement actions and consumer fraud claims against entities that deviate from government-imposed pricing thresholds. By enforcing price controls through state law and expanding civil liability tied to federally set drug prices, the bill increases government intervention in pharmaceutical markets and private contracts, distorting pricing decisions and expanding regulatory and litigation exposure rather than relying on competitive market forces.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because government-imposed price controls and expanded civil enforcement interfere with market pricing, increase regulatory risk, and expand state involvement in private health care transactions.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, access to health care should be pursued through stewardship, innovation, and responsible governance rather than coercive price controls. Expanding government authority over pricing and private transactions risks unintended consequences that burden providers and undermine sustainable care for families and communities.
Matthew 20:13-15 – "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus upholds the principle that individuals have the right to allocate their resources according to their own judgment - including healthcare decisions. Healthcare freedom means employers and individuals choose coverage, providers, and treatments without government mandates dictating how health dollars are spent. The landowner's authority over his vineyard mirrors the family's authority over their healthcare choices.

Weakening Election Integrity by Expanding Opportunities for Fraud Through Ballot Harvesting Outside Traditional Voting Periods.
With CEA
This bill requires county clerks in certain counties to establish additional mail ballot drop box locations during the period between the end of early voting and election day and authorizes third parties, under specified circumstances, to return mail ballots on behalf of voters at those locations. By mandating additional drop box location and expanding third-party ballot return, the bill weakens the integrity of the voting process by expanding opportunities for fraud.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because maintaining strong safeguards against voter fraud is a critical aspect of ensuring free and fair elections, an essential component of democracy under our nation's constitutional republic.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, trust in elections depends on clear rules, accountability, and processes that promote integrity and public confidence. Expanding government-controlled ballot collection systems risks undermining that trust and weakens the shared responsibility to safeguard fair and honest elections.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.

Expanding Healthcare Regulation Through Hospital Price Transparency Mandates and Restrictions on the Collection of Medical Debt.
With CEA
This bill requires hospitals to publish extensive pricing information for goods and services, maintain online price-estimator tools or detailed lists of shoppable services, and annually report facility fee data to the state, while conditioning compliance on licensure and ongoing regulatory oversight. The measure also prohibits hospitals from collecting medical debt accrued during periods of noncompliance, authorizes investigations, administrative penalties, public disclosure of violations, and grants patients new rights to cancel debt and seek refunds through state enforcement mechanisms. By layering expansive reporting mandates, enforcement authority, and debt-collection restrictions onto hospitals through state law, the bill increases regulatory control and administrative penalties in health care markets rather than allowing transparency efforts to evolve through voluntary compliance and market-driven accountability.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it expands regulatory mandates, enforcement powers, and penalties that increase government control over hospitals and private financial arrangements.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, transparency and fairness in health care should be pursued with restraint and respect for limited government. Expanding punitive regulation and state control over medical billing risks undermining stewardship, sustainability, and the ability of providers to serve patients compassionately.
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom. No government or employer has authority to mandate medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures that violate sincere religious or moral conviction. Healthcare freedom means patients and providers can follow conscience in medical decisions without coercion, contempt, or punishment. When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.

Driving Up Housing Costs by Expanding State Regulation of Manufactured Housing and Mobile Home Markets.
Against CEA
This bill amends state law governing manufactured homes, mobile homes, manufactured buildings, commercial coaches, and factory-built housing by expanding licensing requirements, enforcement powers, inspection authority, reporting mandates, and civil and criminal penalties administered by the Housing Division. The measure broadens investigative authority, increases confidentiality of enforcement records, expands eligibility for claims against licensees, and imposes new compliance obligations on dealers, landlords, manufacturers, and park owners, while preempting local discretion in multiple areas of housing regulation. As a result, the bill significantly enlarges the scope of state oversight, enforcement, and administrative control over manufactured housing transactions and operations, increasing regulatory burdens and government involvement in housing markets rather than relying on clear, limited, and targeted regulation.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it substantially expands regulatory authority, enforcement mechanisms, and compliance mandates that increase state control over housing markets and private property arrangements.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, housing policy should promote stability, fairness, and stewardship without excessive government intrusion. Expanding broad regulatory control and punitive enforcement risks undermining responsible ownership, community sustainability, and the proper balance between accountability and limited government authority.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."

Operational freedom fights the bureaucratic oppression that kills small businesses, prevents entrepreneurship, and protects established interests at the expense of new entrants. When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.

Hiking Employment Costs by Mandating Expansive Paid Family Leave Benefits for Public and Private Employers.
With CEA
This bill expands paid family leave requirements by increasing the duration of leave from 8 to 12 weeks, reducing employee eligibility thresholds to as little as 90 days, and extending paid family leave mandates to private employers and local governments with 50 or more employees. The measure broadens the qualifying reasons for leave, requires employers to pay up to 100 percent of wages for many employees while on leave, and authorizes extensive rulemaking, enforcement, civil liability, and penalties administered by state agencies. Mandating longer, more costly paid leave benefits and expanding enforcement and litigation authority significantly increases government control over workplace policies, raises labor costs, and limits flexibility for employers to manage staffing and compensation decisions.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it imposes one-size-fits-all mandates, expands government regulation of private employment relationships, and increases costs and liability for employers.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, caring for families should be pursued in ways that respect stewardship, personal responsibility, and the proper limits of government authority. Imposing expansive mandates on employers risks undermining job creation, workplace flexibility, and the ability of families and communities to thrive without excessive state control.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."

Strengthening Property Rights by Requiring Localities to Allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
Against CEA
This bill requires certain counties and cities to adopt ordinances authorizing accessory dwelling units on residential property and provides that if a local government fails to act by July 1, 2026, accessory dwelling units are automatically authorized on any parcel zoned for residential use. The measure limits the ability of local governments and common-interest communities to block or excessively condition accessory dwelling units through zoning restrictions, discretionary approvals, or private governance barriers. Preventing local prohibitions and automatic bans on accessory dwelling units expands property owners' rights, increases housing supply through incremental development, and limits local government overreach that restricts lawful residential use.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because it strengthens both property rights and helps combat overreaching zoning and land use ordinances. While some may argue this bill undermines "local control", our founding fathers only recognized three entities within the U.S. Constitution - federal government, state government, and the individual. It is not the role for any level of government to unduly infringe the rights of individuals, therefore making preemption measures, such as this bill, necessary.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, expanding housing opportunities supports families, stewardship, and the responsible use of property. Preventing unnecessary local barriers to modest housing solutions respects human dignity while recognizing the proper limits of government authority.

The Year of Jubilee proclaimed economic liberty - restoration of property, cancellation of debts, and freedom from bondage. Economic freedom follows this biblical pattern: protecting property rights, enabling debt relief through bankruptcy rather than permanent servitude, and ensuring families can rebuild wealth across generations. Government policies that permanently trap families in poverty, extract generational wealth through death taxes, or prevent property ownership contradict Jubilee's vision of economic restoration.

Shielding Prescribing Practitioners from Accountability by Allowing Anonymous Labeling of Abortion-Inducing Drugs.
With CEA
This bill allows prescriptions for mifepristone, misoprostol, or their generic alternatives to list the name of the prescribing healthcare practice on the drug label instead of the name of the healthcare provider prescribing the drug. By permitting anonymity for prescribers of abortion-inducing drugs, the bill reduces professional accountability and weakens oversight and responsibility in medical practice. Oppose.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, medical decisions should be guided by truthfulness, accountability, and respect for human dignity. Allowing anonymity in prescribing powerful drugs undermines trust, responsibility, and the moral obligation to act transparently in matters affecting life and health.
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David declares that God forms every person in the womb - a truth that shapes First Freedom's protection of religious pro-life conviction. Believers who hold that life begins at conception must be free to operate hospitals, businesses, and ministries according to this conviction. First Freedom protects religious organizations from being forced to fund, perform, or participate in abortion against their sincere belief that God is the Author of life from conception.

Expanding Government Interference in Private Employment by Banning Mandatory Meetings on Religious or Political Matters.
With CEA
This bill makes it unlawful for an employer to take or threaten adverse employment action against an employee who declines to attend a meeting or participate in a communication where the primary purpose is to convey the employer's views on religious or political matters. The measure creates a new private cause of action allowing employees to recover damages, punitive damages, lost wages, and attorney's fees, subject to limited exceptions, and places enforcement decisions in the hands of courts rather than employers. Prohibiting employers from requiring attendance at certain workplace communications and exposing them to expanded civil liability places government limits on employer speech and management authority, increasing litigation risk and state involvement in internal workplace decisions.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it expands government regulation of private workplace communications, restricts free expression, and increases litigation and state oversight of employer-employee relationships.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, freedom of expression and conscience should be respected for both employees and employers. Allowing the state to police workplace speech risks undermining liberty, mutual responsibility, and the proper limits of government authority in private associations.

Growing Government Interference in the Free Market by Expanding Draconian Prohibitions on Price Gouging to "Essential Goods or Services".
With CEA
This bill amends the state's Unfair Trade Practice Act to classify "manipulating the price of an essential good or service" as an unlawful restraint of trade, subject to felony penalties and state enforcement. The measure defines essential goods and services to include categories such as food, energy, housing, medical products, utilities, transportation, and internet access, and ties criminal liability to price increases that, in part, do "not reflect basic forces of supply and demand" and exceed state-determined benchmarks, rather than clear evidence of collusion or traditional price fixing. As a result, the bill risks punishing lawful business behavior that reflects supply, demand, and economic conditions rather than deceptive or anti-competitive intent.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because criminalizing price movements and expanding state price-setting authority interferes with free markets, increases regulatory risk, and places government judgment over voluntary economic activity.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, economic justice is best served through honesty, competition, and responsible stewardship rather than coercive government price controls. Expanding criminal liability for pricing decisions risks harming small businesses and families while undermining the freedom and accountability that support healthy communities.

Undermining Parental Rights by Granting Broad Legal Immunity to Library Staff for Providing Access to Materials to Minors.
With CEA
This bill provided school and public library staff with immunity from criminal or civil liability for "good faith" acts related to providing access to, or assisting minors and patrons in accessing, library materials. The measure broadly defines "library materials" and removes legal accountability for decisions about what content is made available to children, regardless of parental concerns. By shielding government employees from liability, the bill limits parents' ability to seek recourse and elevates the judgment of state actors over families, weakening transparency, accountability, and parental oversight in public institutions.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because parents, not government employees, should retain primary authority over what materials their children are exposed to, and broad immunity provisions reduce accountability within public institutions.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents are entrusted with the responsibility to protect and guide their children’s moral development. Granting broad immunity to library staff diminishes parental authority and undermines the family’s role in making values-based decisions for children.

Expanding Corporate Welfare Through Mandates and Subsidies for Solar-Powered Affordable Housing.
Against CEA
This bill authorizes users of solar-powered affordable housing systems to participate in net metering, exempts certain system owners from public utility regulations, and imposes extensive new requirements on utilities, landlords, contractors, and state agencies related to solar installation, billing, tariffs, and consumer protections. The measure restructures how electricity is generated, credited, and regulated within multifamily affordable housing by tying participation to state-defined programs, compliance standards, and administrative oversight. While framed as expanding access to renewable energy and lowering costs for low-income residents, the bill relies on regulatory expansion, preferential treatment, and government-directed energy policies that increase state control over energy and housing markets rather than allowing voluntary, market-driven solutions.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it expands government mandates, subsidies, and regulatory authority in the energy sector, crowding out private solutions and increasing state involvement in housing and utility markets.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, caring for low-income families should not depend on expansive government control over markets and private decision-making. Policies that substitute regulation and subsidies for voluntary solutions risk undermining stewardship, accountability, and the role of communities in meeting real needs.

Expanding State Taxation and Regulatory Control over Remote Sales of Tobacco Products.
Against CEA
This bill imposes a new excise tax framework on the remote sale of cigars and pipe tobacco by requiring out-of-state and online sellers to calculate and remit taxes based on the actual cost of products sold to Nevada consumers, subject to specified sales thresholds. The measure also creates a new licensing regime for remote retail sellers, mandates monthly reporting and extensive recordkeeping, imposes bonding and age-verification requirements, and authorizes significant civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance, along with new appropriations to expand enforcement capacity. Expanding taxation, licensing, and enforcement authority over remote sellers increases regulatory burdens, raises consumer costs, and extends state control over interstate commerce and private business activity beyond traditional in-state retail regulation.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it expands state taxation and regulatory mandates, increases compliance costs for businesses and consumers, and broadens government involvement in private commerce.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship and fairness call for restraint in taxation and regulation that burden families and small businesses. Expanding government control over lawful commerce risks undermining economic opportunity and the responsible exercise of freedom in the marketplace.

Driving Up Housing Costs by Eliminating the Requirement of Intent for Discrimination Liability.
With CEA
This bill revises the state's Fair Housing Law to allow liability for housing discrimination not only when a practice is intentionally discriminatory, but also when a neutral policy has a disparate impact or discriminatory effect on a protected class, regardless of intent. Expanding liability based on disparate impact increases legal uncertainty, invites litigation, and places government judgment over routine housing and business decisions, discouraging investment and limiting flexibility in housing markets.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it drives-up housing costs for everyone by exposing property owners to additional risk.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, justice requires accountability grounded in clear intent and fair standards. Expanding liability based on outcomes rather than actions risks undermining fairness, personal responsibility, and the prudent stewardship of housing resources.

Providing Unequal Treatment in Healthcare Licensure by Prioritizing Applicants in "Historically Underserved Communities".
With CEA
This bill requires state and local health authorities and professional licensing boards to establish a process that prioritizes the review of initial licensure applications for health care providers who commit to practicing primarily in statutorily defined "historically underserved communities." The measure defines those communities using census tracts, tribal lands, high-poverty schools, and language metrics, and directs agencies to reorder licensure review based on where an applicant intends to practice rather than applying a uniform process to all applicants. Prioritizing licensure applications based on geographic location treats similarly qualified applicants differently under state law and expands administrative discretion in licensing decisions, undermining fairness, uniformity, and equal treatment across the state.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because, while most government licensing entities are overly restrictive and should be eliminated entirely, licensure standards and processes that are in place should be applied uniformly, without government preference or unequal treatment based on location or policy goals.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, fairness and justice require equal treatment and impartial standards. Granting preferential treatment in licensure based on geography risks undermining equity, trust, and the moral obligation to treat individuals consistently under the law.
Galatians 3:28 – "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Leadership Insight
Paul declares that social distinctions - including the slave/free distinction - do not determine value in Christ. Workforce freedom applies this truth: every worker deserves the right to negotiate freely, to keep their wages, and to be free from coercive systems that treat them as collective property rather than individual image-bearers. Forced union membership contradicts this gospel vision by treating workers as categories to be controlled rather than individuals to be respected.

Maintaining Low Prices by Reducing Regulatory Burdens on Transportation and Delivery Network Companies.
With CEA
This bill lowers the minimum insurance coverage requirements for transportation network companies, drivers, and monitored autonomous vehicle providers from $1.5 million to $1 million while services are being provided. The measure also defines delivery network companies and clarifies that transportation and delivery network companies are not vicariously liable for the acts or omissions of independent drivers, provided specified insurance requirements are met. Clarifying liability standards and reducing excessive insurance mandates limits regulatory overreach, lowers operational costs, and preserves independent contractor relationships without expanding government control over private business models.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because it reduces unnecessary regulatory burdens, clarifies legal responsibility, and promotes efficient, market-driven transportation and delivery services.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, fairness and stewardship are served when laws clearly assign responsibility without imposing excessive mandates. Reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens helps businesses operate responsibly while allowing individuals to work and provide for their families with clarity and accountability.

Expanding School Choice Through Public School Open Enrollment.
With CEA
This bill allows pupils to attend a public school outside their assigned zone of attendance if capacity is available and requires school districts and the state to implement new policies, reporting requirements, and oversight related to open enrollment. The measure also directs the Department of Education to establish a grant program to help fund transportation for certain students who transfer out of underperforming schools when their district elects not to provide transportation. By expanding school choice through relaxed attendance boundaries while simultaneously increasing state mandates, regulatory oversight, and taxpayer-funded transportation subsidies, the bill advances parental flexibility but does so by growing government involvement rather than relying on market-driven solutions.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because, while this bill contains a negative provision increasing state spending on subsidies for student transportation, the bill increases the ability of families to choose higher-performing public schools.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents should have the freedom to seek the best educational environment for their children without being constrained by government-imposed boundaries. Expanding school choice respects the responsibility of families to pursue opportunities that support their children’s growth and future, even as reliance on state programs should be approached with caution.

Growing Government Dependency and Further Indebting Taxpayers Through Up to $180 Million for a New Housing Assistance Program.
With CEA
This bill creates a new Nevada Attainable Housing Account and authorizes the state to appropriate and distribute a significant amount of taxpayer funding for housing-related programs, including grants, loans, rebates, rental assistance, land acquisition, and infrastructure financing. The measure appropriates $133 million in state funds to the new account and authorizes the issuance of up to $50 million in general obligation bonds (debt). It further establishes new councils, reporting requirements, expedited local processes, and regulatory exemptions that centralize housing policy decisions within state agencies. By committing up to $180 million in appropriations and bonded debt to government-managed housing initiatives, the bill expands state intervention in the housing market, shifts risk from private developers to taxpayers, and substitutes government planning for market-driven solutions.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it significantly increases government spending, debt, and administrative control over housing markets rather than addressing affordability through deregulation and private-sector innovation.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship of public resources calls for restraint, accountability, and respect for the role of families and communities over centralized authority. Large-scale taxpayer spending and debt to manage housing through government programs risks misusing resources that should be guided by personal responsibility, voluntary solutions, and local decision-making.

Weakening Election Integrity by Allowing Non-Affiliated Voters to Engage in Rigging Party Primaries.
With CEA
This bill allows registered voters who are not affiliated with a political party to vote in a major political party's primary election by requesting and casting a partisan ballot without formally joining that party. The measure removes existing safeguards that prevent nonpartisan voters from influencing partisan nomination processes and requires election officials to issue and count partisan ballots for voters who have declined party affiliation. While framed as expanding voter access and participation, the bill weakens the associational rights of political parties and undermines the purpose of partisan primaries by enabling individuals who intentionally vote in a party's primary so that a less viable or principled candidate is nominated.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because members of each political party should be able to nominate their preferred candidate without interference from political operatives in an opposing party.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, freedom of association includes the right of organizations to define their membership and decision-making processes. Allowing nonmembers to participate in partisan primaries disregards those boundaries and weakens respect for voluntary association and accountability.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.

Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.

Expanding Health Insurance Regulations by Restricting the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Prior Authorization Decisions.
With CEA
This bill restricts health insurers, public employee plans, and certain self-insured government plans from relying solely on artificial intelligence or automated decision tools to deny, modify, or reduce coverage through the prior authorization process and requires approval of covered care unless a licensed health care professional determines the care is not medically necessary or is experimental. The measure also extends these requirements to public employee benefit plans and embeds new statutory standards governing how insurers must evaluate and respond to authorization requests. By prohibiting insurers from using automated tools for cost and coverage determinations and mandating specific approval standards, the bill increases state control over private insurance decision-making and limits flexibility in managing health care costs and utilization.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it expands regulatory mandates on private insurers, interferes with market-based health care management, and increases government involvement in medical and insurance decisions.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, compassion in health care should be balanced with responsibility and restraint in governance. Expanding government control over insurance practices risks higher costs for families and employers and undermines stewardship of limited health care resources.
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom. No government or employer has authority to mandate medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures that violate sincere religious or moral conviction. Healthcare freedom means patients and providers can follow conscience in medical decisions without coercion, contempt, or punishment. When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.

Worsening Cronyism and Corporate Welfare by Expanding Energy Subsidies Through the Clean Energy Fund.
Against CEA
This bill appropriates $500,000 from the State General Fund to the Nevada Clean Energy Fund to secure and implement grants for qualified clean energy projects, including funding for project subsidies, technical assistance to government agencies, and administrative staffing. By using public funds to subsidize and administer clean energy initiatives, the bill distorts market signals, grows government spending, and shifts financial risk from private actors to taxpayers.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because government should not pick winners and losers in the energy market or use taxpayer dollars to subsidize private or quasi-private energy projects.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship calls for responsible use of public resources and respect for economic freedom. Using taxpayer funds to subsidize favored energy projects places an unfair burden on families and communities while undermining principles of accountability and prudent governance.

Expanding Healthcare Regulation Through Hospital Mandates and State-Directed Medicaid Enrollment.
Against CEA
This bill requires hospitals that provide birthing services to enroll as qualified providers to determine presumptive Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women or contract with approved entities to make those determinations, while also mandating notices about Medicaid and other public benefits. The measure further conditions hospital licensure on compliance with new statutory requirements and establishes an extensive list of enforceable rights for parents and legal guardians of newborns in neonatal intensive care units. By imposing new enrollment duties, benefit notifications, and licensure-backed mandates on hospitals, the bill expands state-directed administration of Medicaid and health care services and increases regulatory control over medical providers rather than relying on voluntary participation and patient-driven decision-making.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it increases regulatory burdens on hospitals and expands state involvement in health care and Medicaid enrollment beyond core functions.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, caring for mothers, children, and families should respect the proper roles of families, providers, and limited government. Expanding state mandates in medical settings risks crowding out compassionate, patient-centered care with regulatory compliance and administrative control.
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."

Weakening Public Safety by Allowing Non-Citizens to Serve in Law Enforcement.
With CEA
This bill allows individuals who are not citizens of the United States, but who are legally authorized to work under federal law and have prior experience as peace officers in another state, to be employed as peace officers in Nevada. The measure also prohibits the Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission from requiring U.S. citizenship for certification and voids any existing regulations that impose such a requirement. Expanding eligibility for peace officers beyond citizens weakens longstanding standards for public authority and trust while restricting the ability of the state and local agencies to set higher qualifications for those entrusted with enforcing the law.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because ensuring public safety is arguably one of the most important roles of government. Service in law enforcement means upholding and enforcing the laws of the nation; non-citizens have not made the necessary oaths to support and defend the Constitution or their allegiance to the United States.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, civil authority carries a serious responsibility that requires trust, accountability, and clear allegiance to the community being served. Preserving citizenship standards for law enforcement respects the weight of that responsibility and supports the proper exercise of authority under limited government principles.

Expanding Teacher Union Power by Weakening Limits on Strikes and Imposing Binding Arbitration on School Districts.
With CEA
This bill creates new pathways for binding arbitration in teacher collective bargaining disputes, restricts school districts from requesting additional work time from teachers after a contract expires, and substantially revises Nevada law governing strikes by teachers. The measure shields individual teachers from penalties for participating in illegal strikes, narrows the definition of what constitutes a strike unless it occurs districtwide, and removes long-standing requirements that teacher unions pledge not to strike as a condition of recognition. Expanding binding arbitration and reducing consequences for strike activity shifts leverage away from elected school boards, weakens accountability, and increases union power over education policy, staffing, and fiscal decisions at the expense of taxpayers and students.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it undermines local control, weakens safeguards against public-sector strikes, and expands compulsory arbitration that limits fiscal discipline and democratic accountability.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, education policy should prioritize students, families, and responsible stewardship of public resources. Weakening accountability and empowering strikes and binding arbitration risks placing institutional interests above the common good and the proper limits of government authority.

Growing Government Overreach Through Insurance and Housing Mandates on Pet Ownership.
With CEA
This bill broadens existing restrictions on insurers by prohibiting them from refusing coverage, canceling policies, or increasing premiums based on the breed or mix of breeds of a dog, including for multifamily residential properties and umbrella policies, unless the dog is individually deemed dangerous or vicious. The measure also requires recipients of state supportive housing grants to allow tenants to keep at least one pet as a condition of receiving public funds, regardless of property-specific considerations. Expanding state-imposed limits on insurance underwriting and conditioning housing grants on mandatory pet policies increases government control over private risk assessment and housing management decisions while reducing flexibility for insurers and property owners.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it restricts private underwriting discretion and imposes uniform state mandates on housing providers, increasing government involvement in insurance markets and property management.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship and responsibility require allowing property owners and insurers to assess risk and manage resources prudently. Expanding government mandates that override judgment and accountability risks undermining sound decision-making and the proper limits of state authority.

Establishing a "Sanctuary State" for Transgender Procedures on Minors.
With CEA
This bill establishes Nevada as a sanctuary state for "gender-affirming health care services" by prohibiting healthcare licensing boards from disciplining or disqualifying providers for delivering or assisting with medically necessary gender-affirming health care services that are lawful in the State, even when those services are the subject of legal action or professional discipline in another jurisdiction. The measure also limits cooperation with other states seeking to enforce laws by restricting the Governor's extradition authority, prohibiting state agencies from cooperating with certain out-of-state investigations or proceedings, and directing licensing boards to examine reciprocal licensure to attract out-of-state providers for these services. Limiting licensure oversight, restricting intergovernmental cooperation, and insulating specific medical practices from accountability expands state intervention and preemption in health care regulation while weakening transparency, uniform enforcement, and the proper balance of authority. Oppose.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, medical care and public policy should be guided by humility, accountability, and respect for moral conscience. Laws that broadly insulate controversial practices from oversight and limit cooperation with lawful authorities risk undermining trust, responsibility, and the proper limits of government authority.

Expanding Government Control over Hospitals Through Mandated Staffing Ratios and Enforcement Regimes.
With CEA
This bill imposes extensive new staffing mandates on hospitals in large counties by requiring the creation of multiple staffing committees, prescribing detailed nurse-to-patient and assistant staffing ratios, and mandating extensive recordkeeping, reporting, and compliance measures as conditions of licensure. The measure authorizes state agencies to conduct random inspections, investigate complaints, impose significant administrative penalties, and publicly rate hospitals based on staffing compliance, while restricting operational flexibility even during workforce shortages. By replacing hospital-level decision-making with rigid, state-imposed staffing formulas and aggressive enforcement mechanisms, the bill expands regulatory control over health care delivery and increases government intervention in hospital management rather than allowing providers to adapt staffing based on patient needs and available resources.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it mandates inflexible staffing requirements, expands bureaucratic oversight, and increases state control over private and nonprofit health care providers.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, health care should be guided by compassion, professional judgment, and stewardship rather than rigid government mandates. Heavy-handed regulation of hospital staffing risks limiting access to care and undermines the ability of providers to serve patients responsibly and effectively.
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom. No government or employer has authority to mandate medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures that violate sincere religious or moral conviction. Healthcare freedom means patients and providers can follow conscience in medical decisions without coercion, contempt, or punishment. When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.

Reducing Employment Benefits by Expanding Employer Liability and Penalties Through Restructured Wage and Compensation Payment Requirements.
With CEA
This bill revises state law governing the payment of wages and compensation when an employee resigns, quits, is discharged, or is placed on nonworking status by redefining "compensation" to include bonuses, profit-sharing arrangements, fringe benefits, and employer contributions to retirement plans. The measure changes existing payment timelines for compensation and replaces the current penalty structure for late payments with a new formula that imposes daily penalties at 1.5 times an employee's hourly wage, along with additional compensation-based penalties, for up to 30 days. Expanding penalty exposure and redefining compensation to trigger automatic and compounding liabilities increases litigation risk, raises compliance costs for employers, and places rigid state mandates over private employment and compensation arrangements.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it significantly increases penalties and employer liability, expanding government control over private employment relationships and compensation practices. As a result, employers are less likely to offer fringe benefits due to the increased potential liability.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, fairness in the workplace should be balanced with proportionality and personal responsibility. Imposing excessive penalties and rigid mandates risks undermining trust, stewardship, and the ability of employers to operate responsibly while providing jobs to families and communities.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who deprive workers of their rights through forced union membership, mandatory dues extraction, and laws that trap workers in systems they never chose. Workforce freedom is justice for the oppressed worker - the right to keep their full paycheck, to negotiate directly with employers, and to be free from coercive representation. Unjust labor laws that force workers to fund political causes they oppose are exactly the oppressive decrees Isaiah condemns.

Weakening Private Property Rights by Prohibiting HOAs and Landlords from Restricting Religious or Cultural Displays.
With CEA
This bill prohibits unit-owners' associations, landlords, and unit owners who rent or lease their property from restricting the display of religious or cultural items within a unit or dwelling, subject only to limited state-defined exceptions related to size, placement, and safety. The measure overrides existing governing documents, rental agreements, and community rules by voiding and preempting provisions that conflict with the new state mandate, regardless of whether those rules were voluntarily agreed upon. Restricting the ability of HOAs and landlords to establish and enforce their own rules infringes on private property rights, weakens freedom of contract, and expands state intervention into private residential governance.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it is not the role of government to dictate the private contractual agreements and operations of HOAs. HOAs serve as free-market alternatives to government zoning and land use standards, as individuals can choose the restrictiveness of the community they wish to join or select to live on property outside the governance of an HOA.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship and respect for authority include honoring voluntary agreements and private governance structures. State intrusion into privately agreed-upon rules risks undermining responsibility, consent, and the proper limits of government authority.
Leviticus 25:10 – "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan."
Leadership Insight
The Year of Jubilee proclaimed economic liberty - restoration of property, cancellation of debts, and freedom from bondage. Economic freedom follows this biblical pattern: protecting property rights, enabling debt relief through bankruptcy rather than permanent servitude, and ensuring families can rebuild wealth across generations. Government policies that permanently trap families in poverty, extract generational wealth through death taxes, or prevent property ownership contradict Jubilee's vision of economic restoration.

Expanding Employment Mandates by Regulating Outdoor Work Based on Air Quality Standards.
With CEA
This bill requires the Division of Industrial Relations to adopt regulations mandating how employers must monitor air quality and limit outdoor work when wildfire smoke causes the air quality index to reach specified thresholds, including prohibiting certain outdoor tasks at state-determined levels. The measure also requires employers to establish new communication systems, provide state-prescribed training, and comply with detailed regulatory standards governing employee exposure to wildfire smoke, with limited exemptions based on industry type or employer size. Regulating workplace operations through statewide air quality mandates increases regulatory burdens on employers and expands state control over day-to-day business decisions that are better handled through flexible, employer-led safety practices.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it imposes prescriptive state regulations on private employers, reducing flexibility and expanding government oversight of workplace safety decisions.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, protecting workers should be pursued with prudence and respect for the proper limits of government authority. Mandating rigid, statewide workplace rules risks undermining stewardship, responsibility, and the ability of employers to care for workers in ways best suited to their specific circumstances.

Subsidizing Housing and Transit Projects Through Diverted Property Tax Revenue by Expanding Tax Increment Financing.
With CEA
This bill expands the use of tax increment financing by authorizing municipalities to designate tax increment areas for affordable housing projects, multi-family housing, transit-oriented development, and major transportation projects tied to fixed guideway or high-capacity transit systems. The measure allows local governments to divert future increases in property tax revenue within designated areas to repay bonds and other debt issued for these projects, prioritizing government-selected developments over general taxpayer needs. Expanding tax increment financing to fund housing and transit initiatives shifts property tax revenue away from core public services, increases long-term public debt, and expands government-directed development at the expense of fiscal restraint and taxpayer accountability.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because tax increment financing diverts tax revenue, increases public debt, and expands government planning and subsidies rather than relying on market-driven development and responsible budgeting.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires careful use of tax dollars and concern for the impact of public debt on families and future generations. Diverting property tax revenue to subsidize government-selected projects risks undermining fiscal responsibility and the proper limits of government authority.

He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants... and you yourselves will become his slaves'"

Hiking Taxpayer Costs by Expanding Unclassified State Employee Collective Bargaining.
With CEA
This bill redefines "employee" for purposes of collective bargaining to include category I, II, and III peace officers in the unclassified service of the state, granting them the same bargaining rights previously limited to classified state employees. Under current law, unclassified employees are excluded from collective bargaining due to the nature of their roles, responsibilities, and chain-of-command considerations, but this measure removes that distinction for state peace officers. Expanding collective bargaining rights to unclassified peace officers shifts employment terms from managerial and executive control to labor negotiations, increasing union influence over compensation, work rules, and discipline in roles that exercise core governmental authority.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because extending collective bargaining to unclassified peace officers expands public-sector union power, limits executive discretion, and reduces accountability in critical law enforcement functions.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, those entrusted with enforcing the law should operate under clear authority, accountability, and responsibility to the public. Expanding collective bargaining into core public safety roles risks undermining order, stewardship, and the proper balance between authority and service.

Growing Government Control of Healthcare by Expanding the Definition of "Protected Characteristics".
With CEA
This bill expands nondiscrimination requirements across public and private health insurance plans, Medicaid, and health care providers by redefining "protected characteristic" to include race, color, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and sex, including sex characteristics, intersex traits, and pregnancy-related conditions. Previously, existing law included only gender identity or expression. By significantly expanding state-defined protected characteristics and empowering regulators and licensing boards to enforce compliance through discipline and regulation, the bill increases government control over health care decisions and limits discretion for insurers and medical professionals.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it expands regulatory authority and enforcement power in health care markets, increasing state involvement in private coverage decisions and medical practice.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, health care policy should respect conscience, professional judgment, and the proper limits of government authority. Expanding broad and undefined protected classifications through state mandate risks undermining ethical convictions and the freedom of providers to serve patients according to deeply held beliefs.
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."

Reducing Accountability by Granting Retroactive Immunity to State Institutions for COVID-Related Actions.
Against CEA
This bill grants the State of Nevada, public institutions of higher education, and their officers and employees immunity from civil liability for damages related to actions or omissions taken during the COVID-19 pandemic that affected educational services in the spring semester of 2020. The measure applies retroactively, shields the state from lawsuits tied to tuition and fees, and broadly defines good-faith compliance with public health guidance as a basis for immunity, while extending these protections through 2030. Granting sweeping and retroactive immunity for government actions limits accountability, restricts legal recourse for affected individuals, and expands state protection from liability beyond traditional limits on governmental power.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because broad and retroactive immunity provisions reduce accountability, weaken checks on government action, and deny individuals the ability to seek redress through the courts.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, justice requires accountability and fairness, even during times of crisis. Granting blanket immunity to government institutions risks undermining responsibility and the moral obligation to address harm done to students and families.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."

When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.

Hiking Taxpayer Costs by Expanding Prevailing Wage Mandates to Private Utility Construction Projects.
With CEA
This bill requires contractors and subcontractors performing construction work on certain significant operational or capital requirement projects awarded by public utilities to comply with prevailing wage laws, even when the work does not qualify as a public work under existing law. The measure applies government-set wage requirements to private utility projects, with limited exceptions tied to collective bargaining or project labor agreements, and extends public works mandates beyond their traditional scope. Extending prevailing wage requirements to private utility construction increases labor costs, limits competition, and expands state wage-setting authority into private contracts, raising project costs that are ultimately borne by ratepayers and taxpayers.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because prevailing wage mandates needlessly drive-up taxpayer costs by imposing significant additional costs onto government contractors.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship calls for prudent use of resources and respect for voluntary agreements. Expanding government-mandated wage rules into private projects risks higher costs for families and communities while exceeding the proper limits of state authority.

Fueling Out-of-Control Spending and Hiking Property Taxes Through Over $900 Million in Bond Authorizations and Capital Improvement Appropriations.
Against CEA
This bill appropriates over $99 million in direct General Fund appropriations, nearly $10 million from the State Highway Fund, and up to approximately $800 million in new general obligation bonds (debt) to finance capital improvement projects across multiple state agencies during the 2025-2027 biennium. The measure also levies additional statewide property taxes to support bond repayment, reallocates previously issued bond proceeds, and commits taxpayers to long-term debt obligations extending years beyond the biennium. Authorizing hundreds of millions of dollars in new borrowing and tax-supported spending significantly expands state fiscal commitments and taxpayer exposure while reducing fiscal restraint and prioritization in government capital planning.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because large-scale bonding, new tax levies, and expanded capital spending increase government size, saddle taxpayers with long-term debt, and weaken incentives for disciplined and limited government budgeting.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires careful management of public resources and concern for the burdens placed on future generations. Expanding long-term debt and tax obligations risks exceeding responsible limits and undermines the moral responsibility to govern with prudence and restraint.

Increasing Housing Costs by Authorizing Local Linkage Fees on Residential Construction to Fund Affordable Housing.
With CEA
This bill authorizes governing bodies in certain regions governed by an interstate regional planning agency to impose linkage fees on residential development, large additions, and significant remodeling projects to fund government-designated affordable housing initiatives. The measure allows local governments to condition development on new fees tied to square footage thresholds and project valuation, even when the housing is privately financed and market-driven. Allowing local governments to impose linkage fees on residential development increases the cost of housing, shifts affordability burdens onto builders and homeowners, and expands government use of fees and exactions that distort housing markets and limit private development.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because imposing linkage fees expands government exactions, raises housing costs, and interferes with market-based housing supply rather than reducing regulatory barriers.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, access to housing should be pursued through stewardship and fairness rather than imposing added financial burdens through government mandates. Policies that increase costs on families and builders risk undermining opportunity and the responsible use of resources entrusted to communities.

Protecting Assisted Reproduction from Government Interference and Overreach.
Neutral
This bill prohibits state and local governments from enacting or enforcing laws that substantially burden access to assisted reproduction, related medications or devices, or the ability of providers to offer such services within their scope of practice. The measure establishes a clear legal standard that limits government interference, provides judicial remedies when those limits are violated, and offers liability protections for individuals and entities involved in assisted reproductive services. By restraining government authority and preventing regulatory actions that single out or burden assisted reproduction, the bill protects medical freedom, personal decision-making, and access to reproductive care from expansive state control. Support.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families should be free from unnecessary government intrusion when making deeply personal decisions related to health and family formation. Protecting assisted reproduction from excessive regulation upholds human dignity and respects the proper limits of government authority.
