Explanation of AB 105
This bill introduced by Assemblyman Roberts would create more transparency between the NIAA and the parents and athletes it governs in the Silver State. More inclusivity is a top priority for the Republican Party. Allowing everyday Nevadans to have input with the NIAA activities ensures that our students and students’ parents are being well informed and advocated for.
