Nevada Legislative Session 2027: Feb. 1 Start, Must End May 31

The 84th Session of the Nevada Legislature convenes Monday, Feb. 1, 2027, and must adjourn sine die by midnight Pacific time on Monday, May 31, 2027, the 120th calendar day, according to the Legislature’s website and the Nevada Constitution. The May 31 date is our count from the Constitution’s text, not a date the Legislature has posted. The Nevada Legislature’s 2027 deadline calendar, the opening-day time and the date of the Governor’s State of the State message are not yet announced. A free printable tracker lists the dates that are set.

The Legislature’s home page says the session “will convene on February 1, 2027.” The 84th (2027) Session page on the Nevada Electronic Legislative Information System (NELIS) says it “will begin on February 1, 2027.”

When does the Nevada Legislature start in 2027?

Article 4, Section 2 of the Nevada Constitution says regular sessions “shall commence on the 1st Monday of February following the election of members of the Assembly.” The first Monday of February 2027 is Feb. 1, matching the Legislature’s own announcement. No start time is posted.

When must the 2027 Nevada session end?

The Constitution says the Legislature “shall adjourn sine die each regular session not later than midnight Pacific time at the end of the 120th consecutive calendar day of that session, inclusive of the day on which that session commences.” It adds that legislative action taken after that midnight “is void.”

Counting Feb. 1 as day 1, day 120 is Monday, May 31, 2027. Last time, the 83rd Session convened Monday, Feb. 3, 2025, so its 120th day was Monday, June 2, 2025. NELIS reports that it “adjourned sine die on June 3, 2025 at 12:35 AM,” a time given here as NELIS prints it.

What are Nevada’s bill draft request deadlines before the session?

Two statutes set the pre-session dates. Aug. 1 and Sept. 1, 2026 have already passed.

• Aug. 1 and Sept. 1: NRS 218D.175 says the Governor’s requests for the executive department are due “on or before August 1 preceding the regular session,” and the Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Controller and Attorney General requests are due “on or before September 1.”
• Nov. 18, 2026: NRS 218D.175(6) says requests under subsections 1 and 4 “must be prefiled on or before the third Wednesday in November preceding the regular session,” and that a measure not prefiled by then “shall be deemed withdrawn.” That is Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2026. The NRS sections for the Supreme Court (218D.190), counties, school districts and cities (218D.205), associations of counties or cities (218D.210), the Patient Protection Commission (218D.213) and the Commission on School Funding (218D.225) carry the same prefiling sentence.
• Dec. 10, 2026: NRS 218D.150 lets an incumbent Assembly member request not more than 4 measures by Aug. 1 and not more than 5 more from after Aug. 1 through Dec. 10. An incumbent senator gets not more than 8 by Aug. 1 and not more than 10 more by Dec. 10. Dec. 10, 2026 is a Thursday.

Nevada 2025 session deadlines and their 2027 equivalents

NELIS lists the 83rd Session’s “120-Day Calendar” deadlines. The table gives each 2025 day’s session-day number (Feb. 3, 2025 was day 1) and the date with the same number in 2027 (Feb. 1, 2027 is day 1). The 2027 column is our computation: the 2027 deadlines are not announced and may differ.

2025 deadline (NELIS)	2025 date	Session day	2027 date if the same day number is kept
Legislators’ BDR Requests	Mon., Feb. 10	8	Mon., Feb. 8
Joint Standing Rule No. 14 BDR Requests	Mon., Feb. 17	15	Mon., Feb. 15
Joint Standing Rule No. 14 BDR Details	Mon., Feb. 24	22	Mon., Feb. 22
Legislators’ Bill Introductions	Mon., March 17	43	Mon., March 15
Joint Standing Rule No. 14 and Other Remaining Bill Introductions	Mon., March 24	50	Mon., March 22
Committee Passage (First House)	Fri., April 11	68	Fri., April 9
First House Passage	Tue., April 22	79	Tue., April 20
Economic Forum Report Due	Thu., May 1	88	Thu., April 29
Committee Passage (Second House)	Fri., May 16	103	Fri., May 14
Second House Passage	Fri., May 23	110	Fri., May 21
Budget Bills Introduced and Exempt Bills from Committee	Wed., May 28	115	Wed., May 26

Because both sessions start on a Monday, every 2025 weekday carries over to 2027. Treat the right-hand column as a planning guide until the Legislature posts its 2027 calendar.

Can the Nevada Legislature hold a special session?

Article 4, Section 2A provides for special sessions “upon a petition signed by two-thirds of the members elected to each House.” Article 5, Section 10 requires the Governor to “communicate by Message to the Legislature at every regular Session the condition of the State” and sets no date for it.
