What are regulations?
"Regulatory History"
The Register of Administrative Regulations (hereafter "Register") includes both proposed and final regulations. The Register is published monthly by the Legal Division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau. The Register was first published in 1997 and the Law Library has all issues in print in our collection.
The Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) was first published in 1980 (predating the Register by almost two decades), although some agencies had regulations in effect before that date and were ultimately included in the first iteration of the NAC. You will be able to identify those situations by paying close attention to a regulation's historical note. The NAC is updated, on average, two to six times per year. The Law Library maintains all superseded pages for historical legal research purposes (although there are some gaps in our archive for the NAC's early years).
