A letter via email
NvHOAreform provides a list (PDF) of email addresses for 2025 session on the "How to Contact Lawmakers" page of lawmakers. The list also includes the Senate and Assembly Judiciary Committee members (where HOA bills are typical heard). Just copy and paste.
First, the bill must be scheduled for a hearing.
Below are instructions on how to submit your comments, which will become “exhibits” on the bill.
Your letter/comments should be submitted in PDF format as an attachment via email. Comments provided in the body of an email may not get posted.
Exhibits must be submitted 24 hours prior to the meeting.
Assembly Judiciary meetings are held at 8:00 am.
Senate Judiciary meetings are held at 1:00 pm. The Senate Judiciary staff will try to post comments received by COB the business day prior.
The subject line of your email should contain the word support, opposition, or neutral along with the bill number.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) may become a public document or public record, including the sender’s name, signature, email address, or other personally identifiable information. (If you do not want your PII made public, please submit a PDF attachment with only the information you want the public to see.)
An exhibit submitted to the committee will not be posted publicly to NELIS if the exhibit contains any literary work, including, without limitation, a newspaper article, magazine article or article from an Internet website, or any pictorial or graphic work, including without limitation, a photograph, graph, chart, screenshot, logo or any other graphic or image, regardless of its source or creator.
The Legislative Department will make the sole determination regarding whether an exhibit may be posted publicly to NELIS. Submitters of exhibits will not be notified of the decision in advance or given the opportunity to appeal the decision or remediate the exhibit. If the submitter of an exhibit wishes for an exhibit to be posted publicly to NELIS, the submitter must ensure that the exhibit does not contain any literary work, pictorial work or graphic work of any kind. This policy applies only to the public posting of exhibits to NELIS and does not prevent any person from delivering, presenting or displaying to the committee, during the course of a committee meeting, any material not otherwise in conflict with the committee’s rules, regardless of whether the material contains work that is potentially subject to copyright protection.
Simple email
If you do not have the time and/or inclination to craft a letter, emails can help. If your legislator is not on the committee, Cc your representative. We recommend you note your support/opposition in the subject line along with the bill number. Tell the lawmaker(s) why this legislation matters to you. If you have a personal story tell it- but make if brief. Giving your lawmaker you address is of value.
Make your point up front. We provided key points to consider in our summary of each bill.
Remember the legislator's job is representing you. Be courteous but not afraid to take a firm position. Keep in mind the lawmaker may know no more about the issue than you do.
