SIGN OUR PETITION to say that it’s time to pass SB239, and expand the right to Death with Dignity to those who live in Nevada.

Nevada bills AB351 and SB105 are introduced and referred to respective House and Senate committees. Neither bill advances. A Public Policy Polling survey reveals over 70% of Nevadans support Death with Dignity.
