Who is responsible for writing the Nevada Revised Statutes?

The Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) are a compilation of the laws of the State of Nevada, and the responsibility for writing and enacting these laws falls to the Nevada Legislature. This body consists of elected representatives who draft, discuss, and vote on proposed legislation. Once a bill is approved by the Legislature, it becomes part of the NRS.

While the other entities mentioned have important functions within the state's legal system, they do not have the authority to write statutes. The Nevada Governor may sign bills into law or veto them, but does not write the laws themselves. The Nevada Supreme Court interprets the laws and resolves legal disputes, but it does not create them. The Nevada Real Estate Division is responsible for regulating real estate practices and ensuring compliance with related laws, but it is also not involved in the legislative process of writing the statutes. Understanding the legislative process helps clarify who is responsible for the actual creation of the statutory law in Nevada.
