Bill > SB493

This bill appropriates a total of $17,905,515 for the replacement of the Nevada Shared Radio System (NSRS), which is a communication system used by state transportation agencies. Specifically, the bill allocates $2,865,572 from the State General Fund and $15,039,943 from the State Highway Fund to the Department of Transportation. The appropriated funds come with strict spending restrictions: any unspent money cannot be committed for expenditure after June 30, 2027, and must be fully reverted to their respective funds (General Fund or Highway Fund) by September 17, 2027. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, which suggests this is part of the state's budget planning for the 2025-2027 fiscal period. The purpose of this funding appears to be to modernize or replace the existing Nevada Shared Radio System, which likely provides critical communication infrastructure for transportation-related operations and emergency services.
