These describe the original executive instrument provisions selected for this topic. Later amendments and current implementation require separate evidence.

• Section 2: Minimum terms for an application. The Executive Director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development shall not bring before the Board of Economic Development (the "Board") an application for a partial abatement under NRS 360.754 for a data center unless the application provides for a combined sales and use tax rate of not less than 4.6 percent, consisting of the tax imposed by the Sales and Use Tax Act and the Local School Support Tax, neither abated in any amount.
• Section 3: The Nevada Community Support Commitment. (a) The Executive Director shall not bring an application for a data center abatement before the Board unless the applicant has executed the Nevada Community Support Commitment (the "Commitment"), in the standard form published under this Section or, until then, on the terms this Section describes, incorporated into the agreement executed under NRS 754. (b) The Commitment shall obligate the applicant as to water, ratepayers, grid reliability, siting and neighbors, workforce, community benefit, transparency and speed to power, on uniform terms the Executive Director shall publish on or before November 6, 2026 in consultation with the State Engineer, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (the "Commission"), and the other agencies, local governments and school districts concerned. At a minimum it shall provide that the facility meets the water standard for its location; that it bears the cost of serving it, so that other customers of the electric utility carry none of that cost, the instrument and terms being for the Commission to determine; that its operation during a declared grid emergency not come at the expense of firm service to homes and existing businesses, that it comply with any load reduction requirement applicable to the facility under the electric utility's approved tariffs or under another tariff, agreement, order or program the Commission approves, including a requirement to reduce load when the electric utility or the balancing authority so directs, relying where necessary and appropriate on alternative or redundant energy systems, the terms of any such obligation being for the Commission to determine, and that a facility providing essential services, such as emergency communications and 9-1-1, public safety, health care, utility control systems, telecommunications, payment systems, transportation control and continuity of government, be treated as an essential service as that program designates, provided that its development and operation will not increase the risk to the stability or availability of power, or the cost of energy, for existing customers; that no payment or exaction beyond the taxes paid and the obligations undertaken is required; that an uncured material failure suspends the abatement and requires recapture, proportionate to the nature and circumstances of the failure, to the extent NRS 360.754 permits, and that a material failure to comply with a grid reliability obligation during a declared grid emergency is a default without a cure period; and that obligations protecting third parties bind successors and survive the abatement.
• Section 4: Commitments of the State. The Executive Director shall publish the standard form of the Commitment, which applies to every applicant alike, shall notify an applicant within 30 days of any incompleteness and place a complete application on the Board's next lawful agenda, shall condition no abatement on any payment or exaction not stated in this Order or the Commitment, and shall publish annually, in aggregate form, the measures the Commitment requires to be reported. The terms approved for a facility continue to apply for the term of its abatement.
• Section 7: Savings clauses, effective date and duration. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to apply to an application the Board approved before its effective date or to an agreement under it; to limit or direct the discretion of the Board; to condition any statutory duty of any agency upon the Commitment; to direct the Commission, alter its jurisdiction, or delay, alter, reopen, supplement or condition any proceeding pending before it or any tariff, agreement, order, approval or resource plan it has approved, an applicant's obligations being conditions of the assistance of this State and not a prerequisite to or condition upon any action of the Commission; or to limit the land use authority of a county or city. This Order is effective immediately, applies to every application not yet acted upon by the Board, and remains in effect until rescinded or superseded by regulation, guidelines adopted under the State Plan for Economic Development, or act of the Legislature.

Sections 2–4 govern tax-abatement conditions, protection of school-tax receipts, proportionate statutory recapture and uniform commitments; this is not a new general appropriation.

Foreign-born residents include naturalized citizens and lawfully and unlawfully present noncitizens. A provision about a particular immigration status concerns only a subset of that population; it does not change a person’s birthplace. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Carson City, NV — Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced that he has joined a multistate comment letter signed by 24 states opposing an unlawful proposal by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to allow prohibited weapons to flood across state borders by mail, endangering the public and harming state and local budgets. “This unneeded proposal by the postal service will undo some of the hard work Nevada and other states have done to curb the epidemic of gun violence,” said Attorney General Ford. “Our state has suffered enough, and to suggest we make it easier for criminals and abusers to access firearms is a slap in the face to gun violence survivors and law enforcement." For almost one hundred years, dating back to 1927, federal law has barred the USPS from mailing certain concealable firearms. That statute has stood, without any court finding it invalid, since that time. However, in January 2026, the Trump Administration decided to suddenly stop following the federal law. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued an opinion that the statute is unconstitutional; stated it will no longer enforce this commonsense statute; and instructed USPS to issue conforming regulations. On April 2, the USPS published a proposed rule to conform with this DOJ opinion. Today’s letter explains why the proposed rule is unlawful and will harm key public safety and the states.
