CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) – Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo issued a proclamation streamlining contractor licensing in a bid to boost rural housing development.
Key provisions of the declaration include:
- Expanded licensing reciprocity: Simplifies the process for contractors already licensed in other states to obtain Nevada credentials.
- Reduced fees: Waives licensing fees for out-of-state contractors for a three-year period.
- Workforce mobility: Encourages interstate cooperation to allow skilled workers to cross state lines more efficiently to meet rural construction demands.
The declaration enacts key provisions of Lombardo’s Nevada Housing Access and Attainability Act.
“By enhancing licensing reciprocity for contractors, we can finally tackle the severe workforce shortages plaguing rural Nevada,” said Governor Lombardo. “Local stakeholders have been urging us to cut through the red tape and eliminate unnecessary fees for years—this change is a long-overdue fix that will make a real difference.”
