Senate Bill 426
For two years the cries of the renters of Las Vegas, or those generally priced out of the American Dream of owning a home, have fallen on deaf ears. It was the rent-strapped cooks and food servers of the Culinary Union that finally answered the call to justice — a force powerful enough to persuade Sen. Pat Spearman (D-North Las Vegas) into proposing SB426 to cap rent increases. In April 2023, SB426 passed through the Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor, but died after being heard by the Senate Finance Committee.
