Nevada Assemblyman Ira Hansen (R-Sparks) has introduced AB 226, which would move the petition deadline for a newly-qualifying party from June to May. Even the existing deadline is constitutionally shaky. In 1992, in Fulani v Lau, a U.S. District Court Judge enjoined the June deadline that existed back then. Afterwards the legislature moved the deadline to July, but years later, they moved it to April.

When the Green Party filed a lawsuit in 2015 against the April deadline, the legislature moved the deadline back to June and the case was dropped.
