AB 239: Revises provisions relating to business entities. (BDR 7-669)

AB 239 updates Nevada's business entity laws to clarify and modernize rules for corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs). It establishes a new process allowing corporations to reorganize through a holding company structure (Section 22), clarifies voting requirements for reverse stock splits (Sections 3-4), and updates dissolution procedures by replacing "certificate of dissolution" with "articles of dissolution" (Sections 11-13, 16). The bill also removes outdated references like "share dividend" (Sections 5-9), revises rules for amending corporate charters after stock issuance (Section 8), and specifies address requirements for LLC members/managers (Sections 14, 17). These changes directly affect Nevada businesses, directors, and shareholders by streamlining corporate governance and administrative processes.

AB 329: Revises provisions relating to victims of crime. (BDR 16-1050)

AB 329 extends the deadline for crime victims to apply for compensation from Nevada's Victims of Crime Fund. It changes the filing window from 24 months (for most victims) to 60 months after the injury or death, and for minors who were victims of sexual abuse or pornography production, applications must now be filed within 60 months after turning 21 (instead of before age 21). The bill also removes the requirement that incidents must be reported to police within 5 days to qualify for a deadline waiver, allows applicants to submit broader documentary evidence (like police reports or court records) instead of medical records, and eliminates the prohibition against awarding compensation to victims who didn't cooperate with law enforcement. These changes directly affect all Nevada crime victims seeking financial compensation through the state's Victims of Crime Fund.

AB 333: Revises provisions relating to governmental administration. (BDR 49-833)

AB 333 ends a 50-year lease between the State of Nevada and Washoe County for property currently used as a county public building complex. It reclassifies the unleased portion of the property as the "Nevada State Fairgrounds," transferring management to the State Department of Agriculture. The bill establishes a dedicated funding account in the State General Fund to develop, maintain, and promote the fairgrounds, while requiring Washoe County to survey its existing building complex as part of a new lease agreement. These changes finalize a decades-long legislative process involving the property's trust status and update oversight responsibilities for the fairgrounds.

AB 477: Revises provisions relating to the counting of incarcerated persons for purposes of the apportionment of the population for certain election districts. (BDR 16-1134)

AB 477 changes how incarcerated individuals are counted for redistricting in Nevada. It requires the Department of Corrections to collect and share each inmate's pre-incarceration address, age, and race/ethnicity with the State Demographer by January 2026. The bill mandates that population counts for legislative, congressional, and Board of Regents districts must now reflect inmates' last known residential addresses before imprisonment - not where they are incarcerated. For inmates without a known address or from other states, they will not be counted at prison locations but as "state unit" residents. This policy directly affects redistricting outcomes in communities where inmates previously resided before incarceration.

SB 117: Revises provisions relating to services for veterans. (BDR 37-795)

SB 117 requires Nevada's Department of Veterans Services to share existing materials about military discharge upgrades with all veteran service agencies statewide. It specifically ensures LGBTQ+ veterans and their families can access clear information on changing their discharge status or narrative reason. The bill mandates that resource centers providing veteran services receive these materials to streamline assistance. This expands current outreach without creating new programs, making discharge upgrade support more consistently available.

AB 347: Revises provisions relating to state financial administration. (BDR 31-936)

AB 347 raises the limit for state agencies to accept gifts and grants from nongovernmental sources from $200,000 to $500,000 per gift. This change directly affects all state agencies that receive such funding, allowing them to accept larger contributions without requiring separate legislative approval for amounts within the new limit. The bill also updates the review process, setting 15-day and 45-day deadlines for the Interim Finance Committee to act on proposals. The main policy change is the increased financial threshold for nongovernmental gifts.

AB 519: Creates a separate chapter of the Nevada Revised Statutes governing certain agencies and organizations that provide nonmedical services. (BDR 40-805)

AB 519 creates a new chapter in Nevada’s Revised Statutes specifically for agencies providing nonmedical home care services (like personal care for elderly or disabled individuals), employment agencies contracting for such services, and intermediary service organizations. It moves these entities from the current medical facilities chapter to a dedicated regulatory section without changing their existing licensing, certification, or operational requirements. The bill also adds federal compliance steps, requiring license applicants to verify child support compliance and provide social security numbers (or alternate identification if unavailable), and mandates surety bonds and background checks for these providers. This procedural reorganization affects only the legal structure of regulations, not the substance of rules governing these services.

AB 507: Revises provisions relating to state financial administration. (BDR 31-933)

AB 507 revises Nevada’s budget revision process for state agencies. It clarifies that a $75,000 threshold applies to the total amount of any single budget revision request (not per category) and prohibits splitting large requests to avoid oversight. State agencies must now get approval from the Interim Finance Committee for any revision that either exceeds $75,000 in total or cumulatively changes spending by 20% or $350,000 (whichever is less) for any budget category. This procedural bill affects all executive branch departments needing budget adjustments during a fiscal year.

AB 281: Revises provisions relating to the state militia. (BDR 36-398)

AB 281 revises Nevada's compensation rules for state militia members injured, disabled, or killed while on active duty. It changes the benefit calculation so members or their dependents now receive compensation equivalent to federal military benefits (under Title 10 or 32 of U.S. Code) rather than the previous state-based formula. The bill specifically applies to Nevada National Guard members and reservists activated by the governor, ensuring their benefits align with federal standards for similar military service. It also clarifies that state benefits don't apply if the member is already receiving federal compensation for the same injury or death.

AB 547: Revises provisions relating to public employment. (BDR 23-994)

AB 547 updates Nevada's public employment rules to make state hiring more flexible. It allows state agencies to count relevant federal government work experience as equivalent to state experience for job qualifications and pay decisions. The bill also restricts requiring a bachelor's degree for most state jobs, except when an agency proves the position genuinely needs that specific education. These changes directly affect state job applicants and employees in both classified (competitive) and unclassified (non-competitive) positions.

AB 321: Revises provisions relating to offenders. (BDR 16-1015)

AB 321 allows courts to set aside certain criminal convictions and issue a "certificate of second chance" for eligible individuals who complete probation or sentence requirements. This certificate removes disqualifications for professional licenses and prevents past convictions from being used in negligent hiring or housing cases. The bill also requires the State Forester Firewarden to create a hiring program for former offenders who worked in conservation camps to fill firefighting positions in state forestry. It directly affects people convicted of specific offenses who meet the criteria for the certificate process. The law modifies existing Nevada statutes to facilitate reintegration for this group.

AB 334: Revises provisions relating to oral health. (BDR 54-800)

AB 334 removes a requirement that dental hygienists seeking licensure by endorsement in Nevada must have actively practiced in another state for the five years immediately before applying. This change directly affects dental hygienists licensed in other states who want to practice in Nevada without relocating. The bill amends Nevada Revised Statute 622.530 to prohibit the Board of Dental Examiners from requiring applicants to prove recent practice in another state, while maintaining other standard requirements like holding a valid out-of-state license, passing background checks, and paying fees. The bill does not alter other licensure standards or create new obligations for applicants.
