The lack of mandatory, enforceable timeline for state agencies to respond to verified public health and safety complaints.

Why this issue is important: Government officals and agency leaders take a solemn Oath of Office to uphold the Nevada Constitution et al. and protect "the people." However, a systemic "culture of silence" currently allows agencies to leave critical safety complaints stagnant for months without a required investigation per their scope of position. Thus, when "the people" provide evidence of hazardous conditions, administrative silence becomes a dereliction of duty. Without a law that forces agencies to provide a written "Statement of Action" or "Formal Denial" within a set timeframe, "the people" are left without a clear path to justice. Solving this nsures that transparency isn't just a promise, but a procedural requirement that holds every state actor accountable to the duties they were hired and sworn to perform.
