In 2025, the Levin Center conducted a study of all 50 states to examine how legislatures ensure government programs work effectively for citizens. Factors such as legislative oversight committees, routine engagement with executive agencies, collection of casework data, digital transparency tools, and user-centered policy evaluation were of particular importance.

State Summary #
The Nevada Legislature has no solicitation for direct feedback from the public on any of its public website pages. Although the General Assembly and Senate homepages both have links to gather further information about testifying in committee hearings, neither chamber provides users with the opportunity to directly submit testimony. Instead, a user must go through the specific committee and hearing to which they wish to submit a comment, and the process is extremely hard to navigate. Despite these challenges, Nevada’s sole committee dedicated to oversight, the Legislative Commission, has evidence that public input is being obtained in several of their meetings. Under each meeting viewed is a section for public comment with direct links to view multiple instances of public input.
