SB 41 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the taxation of cannabis establishments. (BDR 32-284)

SB 41 requires cannabis businesses (including retail stores and consumption lounges) to obtain a separate "cannabis tax permit" from Nevada’s Department of Taxation before receiving a license from the Cannabis Compliance Board. Businesses must apply for this permit for each location, with applications processed within 15 days, and permits must be displayed at each business location. The bill links permit status to business licenses: if a permit is revoked, the Cannabis Compliance Board must suspend the business’s license until any tax debt is paid. This requirement applies starting January 1, 2027, and includes procedures for appeals and penalties for noncompliance.
