Nevada Supreme Court
The Legislature of the State of Nevada v. Elko County
August 20, 2026142 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 57
Summary
The court held that the population-based provisions of A.B. 519 were unconstitutional and affirmed summary judgment for Elko County. Section 2 was a local or special law because its narrow population range lacked a rational relationship to the statute’s purpose and effectively targeted Elko County, while Sections 2 and 8 impermissibly regulated county business. The court affirmed severance of the invalid provisions and declined to reach additional constitutional grounds.
