Nevada Appellate Courts Advance Opinions for December 3, 2020

 STATE, DEP’T OF TRANSP. VS. BRONDER

• Is NAC 281.305(1)(a), which provides that a state officer or employee claiming whistleblower protection must file a whistleblower appeal within 10 workdays of the alleged reprisal or retaliation, a procedural rule and thus within the rulemaking authority that NRS 281.641(5) confers upon the Nevada Department of Administration’s Personnel Commission.

 IN RE: PETITION OF ARAGON

• Does a conviction for open or gross lewdness meet the statutory requirements for sealing.

 SILVERWING DEV. VS. NEV. STATE CONTRACTORS BD.
