NevadaNevada law would call library division State Library and Archives
Nevada’s state library and archives division would use a shorter name throughout state law, including in references to its administrator.
What it does
Nevada law would call the office the Division of State Library and Archives. References to the office and its administrator would use that name.
If the name update takes effect, the office’s existing rules, agreements, and actions would continue to apply. Its rules would stay in place until amended.
