Revises provisions relating to health insurance. (BDR 57-735)
AB 169 requires most Nevada health insurance policies (including Medicaid) to cover habilitative and rehabilitative speech therapy for stuttering treatment for individuals under age 26. Insurers cannot impose annual visit limits, deny coverage based on the cause of stuttering, or apply medical management techniques like prior authorization for this specific therapy. The law applies to standard health insurance plans but excludes policies covering only a single disease or limited benefit. This coverage becomes mandatory for new or renewed policies on or after January 1, 2026.

MINOR
This bill amends the text of Assembly Bill 169 to finalize its enactment, removing reprint headers and adding official session details. Substantively, the bill requires health insurance policies to cover speech-language pathology for stuttering in people under 26, bans annual limits on this coverage, and exempts limited-disease policies from these requirements.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on expanding health insurance coverage for stuttering treatment for youth under 26, with specific exemptions for narrow-disease policies.
TECHNICAL
Removed reprint headers, summary, and fiscal notes to reflect the bill's final 'As Enrolled' status.
Added official session information (83rd Session, 2025) and page numbering to the final text.
REQUIREMENT
Consolidated the Legislative Counsel's Digest and act title into a single, clean format for the final version.
