SB 431: Revises provisions relating to the excise tax on live entertainment. (BDR 32-692)

SB 431 expands Nevada’s excise tax on live entertainment to include ticket resales, requiring resellers to collect and remit the tax on secondary sales (previously only applied to original purchases). It eliminates an existing exemption for professional sports events (e.g., Las Vegas Raiders games), now subjecting them to the same 9% tax. The bill also mandates that online platforms facilitating ticket resales - like StubHub or Ticketmaster - must collect the tax if they process over $100,000 in gross receipts or 200+ transactions annually, unless resellers agree to handle collection. This directly affects ticket resellers, online marketplaces, and event organizers hosting live entertainment, including professional sports teams.

AB 87: Makes an appropriation relating to wildlife crossings. (BDR S-390)

AB 87 appropriates $5 million from the State General Fund to the Wildlife Crossings Account for designing, constructing, and marking new wildlife crossings and related highway features. It directly affects Nevada's highway infrastructure planning and wildlife conservation efforts by funding projects to improve animal movement across roads. The bill creates no new regulations but provides specific funding to enhance wildlife permeability on state highways. This appropriation is separate from the executive budget and becomes effective upon passage.

AB 62: Revises provisions relating to transferable tax credits for affordable housing. (BDR 32-437)

AB 62 revises rules for transferable tax credits that help fund affordable housing projects in Nevada. It shortens the deadline for submitting final credit applications from 45 to 15 days before project completion, allows project sponsors to use long-term ground leases instead of purchasing land, and expands who can receive transferred credits (including project members/partners and subsequent entities). The bill also increases the annual credit cap from $10 million to $13 million (with carryover rules) and raises the lifetime cap from $40 million to $100 million. Additionally, it changes when credits expire - starting from the Division's notification date rather than the credit issuance date. These changes directly affect housing developers and entities buying/selling tax credits.

AB 66: Revises provisions relating to district courts. (BDR 1-473)

AB 66 adjusts the number of district judges in Nevada's court system based on population growth. It establishes a formula where each 40,000 population increase in districts with 350,000+ residents triggers a new judge position, with specific requirements for family court judges in certain districts. The bill directly increases judges in six districts: the First (2→3), Second (2→5, including 1 family court judge), Sixth (1→2), Eighth (10→28, including 8 family court judges), Tenth (1→2), and Eleventh (1→2). Districts can delay increases if the chief judge and county commissioners certify caseloads don't justify it, but new judges will take office January 4, 2027.

AB 522: Revises provisions relating to health care. (BDR 57-1135)

AB 522 requires Nevada health insurance plans (including Medicaid) to cover adult children of insured individuals until age 26, aligning with federal law. It expands preventive care coverage to include colorectal cancer screenings, breast cancer prevention medications for high-risk patients, and maternity/newborn care, while prohibiting higher deductibles or copays for these services. The bill directly affects insured Nevadans, particularly young adults, pregnant people, and those needing preventive screenings. Key provisions mandate specific coverage for recommended services from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and Health Resources and Services Administration, with no additional out-of-pocket costs for covered preventive care.

AB 139: Makes an appropriation to the Department of Education for programs of dual credit. (BDR S-178)

AB 139 appropriates $15 million from the State General Fund to Nevada's Department of Education to fund dual credit programs for eligible high school students. It provides grants covering student fees and instructional materials for pupils facing financial hardship - including first-generation college students, those from underserved communities, or households receiving public assistance or free/reduced lunch. The bill prohibits restrictions on program locations, subject areas, or instructor choices, requiring schools to report on expenditures, student enrollment, graduation rates, and college enrollment by 2026-2027. Funds must be spent by June 30, 2027, with unspent balances reverted to the state by September 17, 2027. This directly supports low-income high school students in accessing college courses while enrolled in public schools.

AB 403: Proposes to exempt from sales and use taxes the amount of any allowance against the selling price given by a retailer for the value of a used portable electronic taken in trade on the purchase of another portable electronic. (BDR 32-565)

AB 403 proposes that if approved by Nevada voters in 2026, retailers would not charge sales tax on the value of a used portable electronic (like a phone or tablet) traded in for a new one. This exemption would apply only when the trade-in value is clearly stated on the sales receipt and the trade-in occurs during the same transaction as the new purchase. If enacted, the tax exemption would take effect January 1, 2027, and expire December 31, 2050. The bill directly affects consumers purchasing new electronics through trade-ins and retailers handling such transactions.

AB 330: Makes an appropriation for the development and carrying out of a certain internship program in psychology. (BDR S-615)

AB 330 appropriates $206,000 for fiscal year 2025-26 and $787,100 for 2026-27 from the State General Fund to UNLV's Partnership for Research, Assessment, Counseling, Therapy and Innovative Clinical Education. It funds the development of Nevada's first accredited predoctoral internship program in child and adolescent psychology, addressing the state's lack of local training opportunities. The money covers staffing, intern stipends, training materials, and accreditation costs to meet professional standards. This directly affects psychology doctoral students in Nevada who previously had to leave the state for required supervised training.

AB 246: Revises provisions relating to offenders. (BDR 16-686)

AB 246 requires Nevada’s Department of Corrections to establish voluntary vocational farm programs in state facilities where funding allows, focusing on sustainable agriculture, fair labor standards, and therapeutic education. It also allows the department to hire outside registered dietitians (not tied to food vendors) to improve inmate nutrition, with new regulations adopted per state procedures. The bill mandates a 2025-2026 study on food services in correctional facilities, requiring public publication of results and limiting food service contract renewals to two years during the study. These changes directly affect incarcerated individuals through improved meal programs and vocational opportunities, while placing new requirements on the Department of Corrections.

AB 307: Revises provisions governing the taxation of sales of cannabis and cannabis products. (BDR 32-149)

AB 307 eliminates a 15% excise tax on wholesale cannabis sales (affecting growers and distributors) and increases the retail tax on cannabis products from 10% to 14.25% of the sales price. Revenue from the new retail tax must first cover costs for the Cannabis Compliance Board before any remaining funds go to the State Education Fund. The bill also removes obsolete provisions about valuing wholesale cannabis and updates funding sources for the Education Fund. This change may impact local government budgets, as noted in the fiscal report.

AB 130: Makes an appropriation to Goodwill of Southern Nevada for expanding workforce development initiatives. (BDR S-917)

AB 130 appropriates $3 million from the State General Fund to Goodwill of Southern Nevada to expand its workforce development programs. The funding directly supports Goodwill's initiatives helping job seekers gain skills and employment opportunities in Southern Nevada. Goodwill must submit two detailed reports on fund usage by December 2026 and September 2027, and all funds must be spent by June 2027 with any remaining balance reverting to the state by September 2027. The bill includes audit requirements to ensure accountability for the state funds.

AB 300: Makes an appropriation for the construction of a veterans and community center in Virginia City, Nevada. (BDR S-1065)

AB 300 appropriates $750,000 from Nevada's State General Fund to the Evans-Kendall Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8071 for constructing a veterans and community center in Virginia City. The funds directly support the VFW Post in building a facility serving local veterans and community members. The bill requires the VFW Post to submit two spending reports (by December 2026 and September 2027) and mandates that any unspent funds revert to the state by September 17, 2027. This is a straightforward funding allocation with specific accountability measures, not a policy change affecting broader legislation.
