Bill > AB173

This bill amends the Nevada Financial Disclosure Act to require candidates for judicial office to disclose their political party affiliation on their financial disclosure statements. Specifically, candidates must indicate their designated political party affiliation as used for voter registration purposes when filing their required financial disclosure form. The bill defines "judicial office" by referencing the existing definition in NRS 293.064, and it will become effective on July 1, 2025. The legislation aims to increase transparency by ensuring voters have information about a judicial candidate's political party alignment when they are considering candidates for judicial positions. The bill adds this new requirement to the existing financial disclosure process for candidates seeking judicial offices, which currently requires filing a statement within 10 days after the last day to qualify as a candidate for an office that provides annual compensation of $6,000 or more.
