Revises provisions relating to jurisdiction. (BDR 2-845)
AB 158 allows Nevada courts to exercise general jurisdiction over certain businesses based solely on specific connections to the state. It directly affects corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and similar entities organized in Nevada, that have consented to Nevada jurisdiction, or maintain significant contacts with the state. The key provision lets courts handle *any* legal claim against these businesses - regardless of whether the dispute relates to their Nevada ties - without requiring a direct connection to the specific case. This change applies to lawsuits filed on or after October 1, 2025. The bill does not impose new costs on state or local government.
