Revises provisions relating to senior living communities. (BDR 40-1039)
SB 299 changes how senior living community referral agencies operate in Nevada. Instead of requiring a license from the State Board of Health, the bill mandates these agencies register with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health under the Department of Health and Human Services. To register, agencies must submit an application (including a U.S. physical address), provide liability insurance proof, and pay a $1,354 fee for a two-year registration period, with renewal requiring the same steps. Agencies currently operating without a license may continue until 120 days after the Division adopts required regulations.

MINOR
This bill transitions the regulatory oversight of senior living community referral agencies from the State Board of Health to the Division of Public and Behavioral Health. It replaces the previous requirement to obtain a 'license' with a new 'registration' process, while keeping the existing fee amounts and validity periods. The change also updates the legal text to remove references to the Board of Health and aligns the statute with the new Division.
Scope change
The bill's scope shifts from licensing under the State Board of Health to registration under the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, though the operational requirements and fees remain substantively the same.
REQUIREMENT
The requirement for senior living community referral agencies changed from obtaining a 'license' from the State Board of Health to registering with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health.
The legal text was updated to remove all references to the State Board of Health and replace them with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health.
DEFINITION
The bill was restructured from a reprint format to an enrolled act format, including a Legislative Counsel's Digest that explains the shift from licensing to registration.
