Senator Rosen Working Across Party Lines, Delivering for Nevadans:

  • Three Rosen-Led Bills and Numerous Nevada Wins Included in this year’s National Defense Package: As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Rosen helped shape this year’s National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 to ensure it included key priorities for Nevada’s servicemembers and defense installations, including $18 million to build Nevada’s first certified small arms training range at Hawthorne Army Depot in addition to land for the Fallon Range Training Complex. The final defense bill, which is awaiting the President’s signature, also included a historic pay raise for junior enlisted troops and included three bipartisan bills introduced by Senator Rosen and several major provisions based on bills she introduced:
    • Bipartisan Translating Military Skills into Civilian Jobs Act: Requires the Department of Defense to create a competency record that outlines the training and qualifications acquired by a servicemember while serving in the military. As they transition to the civilian sector, the servicemember can then provide this record to an employer to determine if their military training and qualifications satisfy the job requirements.
    • Bipartisan Veterans Assistance Helpline Act: Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to maintain a permanent helpline for veterans to use in order to quickly obtain information and assistance with all services from the VA.
    • Bipartisan Space Technology and Regional Security (STARS) Act: Requires the Department of Defense to develop a strategy and data-sharing agreement to protect Israel and other allies and partners in the Middle East from hostile Iranian space activities.
  • Highlights of Senator Rosen’s bipartisan legislation that was or will be signed into law this year:
