SB 75 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises various provisions relating to businesses in this State. (BDR 7-484)

SB 75 gives the Secretary of State authority to set business license fees, renewal costs, and penalties through regulations (replacing fixed amounts). It allows non-English business documents to be filed if a verified translation is available, easing language barriers. The bill updates rules for business names containing professional titles like "architect" and changes trademark registration to follow federal U.S. Patent and Trademark Office classes instead of state-defined categories. These changes directly affect businesses operating in the state that file documents, pay fees, or use professional titles in their names.
