Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed a bill into law allowing Nevada residents to hang religios door disp;ayes inlcuding Hindu torans and Jewish mezuzah. The bill was a joint initiative by the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The bill was introduced by Senators Julie Pazina, Dina Neal, Edgar Flores, Melanie Scheible, and Lisa Krasner, and Assemblymembers Erica P. Roth and Duy Nguyen.The bill permits religious displays upon dwellings that are no larger than 12” x 36”. The bill also requires maintenance workers to store religious displays in a way that preserves its sanctity.“This bill is a significant win for Nevada Hindus because it ensures residents’ right not only to observe their Hindu faith unencumbered, but also to bless their homes and everyone who enters them with the display of a toran, as their faith calls them to,” HAF managing director Samir Kalra said. The law will come into force on October 1, 2025. The bill overrides any homeowner association (HOA) or residential restrictions that might prohibit such displays, thereby safeguarding the religious practices of Nevada residents. The Hindu toran, a traditional decorative item often hung above doorways, holds cultural and religious significance in Hindu households. It is typically adorned with intricate designs and symbols that bless the home and its inhabitants, inviting prosperity and warding off negative energies. The Jewish mezuzah, similarly, is a small case containing a piece of parchment inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah, affixed to the doorposts of Jewish homes as a sign of faith and protection.“Nevada Senate Bill 201 will protect all faith communities. Ensuring that individuals can display religious items on their doorways without undue restrictions allows them to freely express their faith in their homes. We are grateful for the bipartisan support in the Legislature and to our partners at the Hindu American Foundation for championing this bill,” ADL Desert Regional Director, Jolie Brislin, said.
