Where the public showed up to push back

140 bills with two or more opposition exhibits at NELIS hearings

Sorted by Opposition exhibit count. Each bill links to its NELIS page for full hearing record. The right-hand column lists the opposing organisations or individuals (top 5 named). Sometimes the loudest pushback is at bills that were proposed reforms; sometimes it is at bills that would have entrenched existing arrangements. We surface the data; readers interpret which side of the reform line each bill sits on.

Opposition counts from NELIS exhibits

The most-opposed bills of the 83rd Session

Opposition / Support / Neutral counts come from the per-exhibit position labels filed at NELIS bill hearings. A bill with high opposition AND high support indicates a contested measure; a bill with predominantly opposition indicates a one-sided pushback (often reform attempts opposed by entrenched interests).

How this list is generated

For every bill in the 83rd (2025) Nevada Legislative Session, we walked the NELIS Exhibits tab and parsed each exhibit's position label (Support / Opposition / Neutral / Amendment / Presented / Submitted). Bills with two or more Opposition exhibits are listed here, sorted descending. Source: NELIS — Nevada Electronic Legislative Information System. See /methodology for the full pipeline.

About reform tracking. "Reform" is interpretive — different observers will categorise the same bill differently. Rather than impose a single classification, this page lists the contested bills with raw counts; the reader decides which look like reforms. For specific reform bills already documented on this site, see the linked annotations on individual lobbyist pages.
