3/ That legislation, #AB452, championed by #TeamNCL, our allies, and Nevadans like you, made sure overcharged Nevadans received full refunds plus interest and stopped utilities from repeating this kind of misconduct in the future: buff.ly/e7kMo9b
The bill passed 20-0 in the Senate, following a 35-7 vote in the Assembly, with strong bipartisan support.
❓ Where is #AB452 now? After minor amendments, it returns to the #NVLeg Assembly for a final vote before heading to Gov. Lombardo’s desk.
🎥 “I urge my colleagues to support #AB452 to make sure that our constituents are made whole.”
Last Friday, Sen. Rochelle Nguyen stood up for #NV families before casting her vote to pass #AB452, a bill that ensures full refunds with interest when the utilities overcharge us.
✅ #AB452 guarantees full refunds with interest when customers are overcharged and gives regulators more time to scrutinize rate hikes.

🚨 UPDATE: #AB452 and #AB458 just passed the #NVLeg Senate — with bipartisan support and momentum growing to deliver real relief to Nevadans.

TY @wadecrowfoot.bsky.social, Secretary of the CA Natural Resources Agency, for a compelling argument that supports the goals of #AB452. My surf reserves bill advances the states 30 X 30 goals & allows communities to designate their favorite surf breaks as "Surf Reserves."🏄🌊
