The Nevada Register of Administrative Regulations is a tool that shows changes in rules from 1997 to now. It tells you about new rules, rules that have changed, and when they start. It comes out at least 10 times a year and you can find it online or in print on the Legislature's website. For changes before 1997, it’s harder to find and you must ask the agency that made the rules. To see updates after 1997, go to the Legislative Counsel Bureau's website and search by year and index.
Pursuant to NRS 233B, the Nevada Register of Administrative Regulations is available online from the Legislature's website at https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Division/Legal/LawLibrary/Register/index.html (1997-current).
The Nevada Register is available in print from 1997-current, which makes finding regulatory changes prior to 1997 difficult, as they are only available from the issuing agency.
