AB 149 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to cannabis. (BDR 56-51)

AB 149 requires Nevada's Cannabis Compliance Board to create rules for sharing data with research institutions, such as universities, to support cannabis industry research. It defines "research institution" as organizations focused on medical, scientific, or academic work and authorizes the Board to disclose confidential data under these new rules. The bill also allocates funding to the Cannabis Policy Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for personnel, operations, travel, and research expenses. This directly affects the Cannabis Compliance Board (which must adopt the rules) and the UNLV research institute (which receives the funding), enabling data sharing for research without altering existing confidentiality protections.
