AB 38 extends existing Nevada housing regulations for manufactured homes and mobile homes to cover manufactured buildings and factory-built housing. It updates key requirements, including sales reporting (Sections 12-13), certificate and label standards (Sections 19-23), and financial protections like claims against licensees for fraud (Sections 10-11). The bill also expands landlord disclosure rules for manufactured home parks (Section 37) and clarifies enforcement authority for the Housing Division. These changes directly affect dealers, manufacturers, and landlords in the manufactured housing sector by applying current regulatory frameworks to these housing types.
SB 72 revises Henderson's city charter to update procedures for filling vacancies, passing ordinances, and selling city property. It requires the city council to adopt a resolution filling a vacancy within 60 days (specifying the election date) and hold special elections no later than 90 days after that resolution - barring elections during certain periods after general elections. The bill also allows the council to choose whether to refer proposed ordinances to committees (instead of requiring it) and mandates that ordinances be read and voted on at meetings. Additionally, it permits selling all city real property on time payments and removes the requirement that sale prices for certain entities match the city's acquisition cost. These changes directly affect Henderson's city council, mayor, and residents involved in local governance and property transactions.
AB 498 revises Nevada's motor club regulations by removing a requirement for clubs to provide members with their "usual place of business" address (only the home office address remains mandatory). It also changes licensing rules for non-resident club agents, allowing them to be licensed if their home state does not require such licenses or permits Nevada residents to act as agents there. These changes directly affect motor clubs (like roadside assistance organizations) and individuals seeking to serve as club agents across state lines. The bill makes no fiscal impact on local or state government, as noted in the fiscal summary.
SB 16 strengthens Nevada's contractor licensing enforcement by expanding penalties for unlicensed bidding and interference with investigations. It allows the State Contractors’ Board to deny a license for up to one year to anyone who submits a bid for work valued at $1,000 or more without a license. The bill also adds "interfering with Board investigations" as grounds for disciplinary action against licensed contractors and creates graduated criminal penalties (misdemeanor to felony) for such interference, with fines up to $20,000 for repeat offenses. These changes, effective as Chapter 38 after the bill's passage on May 26, 2025, directly affect unlicensed bidders and individuals obstructing licensing enforcement.
AB 30 expands existing law to require local detention facilities (like county jails) to share medical and mental health records with the Department of Health and Human Services' Administrator when a defendant previously held in that facility is found incompetent and committed to their care. The bill mandates that local facilities provide these records upon request - without needing the defendant's consent - for the sole purpose of evaluating and treating the defendant. This change extends a current requirement (previously only applying to the Department of Corrections) to cover all local detention settings. The policy directly affects defendants found incompetent who have been detained in local facilities, ensuring their treatment providers have access to relevant health history.
AB 55 updates Nevada’s motor vehicle crash investigation rules to improve data collection. It affects coroners, police officers, and state agencies like the Department of Public Safety and Department of Motor Vehicles. Key changes include: removing the 8-hour deadline for drawing blood samples from crash victims (now only requiring analysis of alcohol and commonly misused substances), requiring coroners to report test results to the DMV upon receipt (instead of within 30 days), and mandating police to submit crash reports electronically within 10 days of the crash or death. These changes streamline reporting while expanding the scope of substances tested in fatal crash investigations.
AB 510 changes Nevada's accountancy regulation by shifting authority from state law to the Nevada State Board of Accountancy. The bill eliminates specific statutory requirements for education and work experience needed to become a certified public accountant, instead requiring the Board to set these standards through regulations. It also removes the Board's authority to charge fees for evaluating candidate experience and clarifies rules for granting conditional exam credit. These changes directly affect individuals seeking CPA certification and the Board's operational procedures in Nevada.
AB 97 updates Nevada's crime data reporting requirements by requiring all criminal justice agencies to submit information to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History through the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) instead of the previous FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program. This change affects police departments, courts, and other agencies that collect and submit crime data. The bill defines NIBRS as the system operated by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (per 34 U.S.C. § 10132) and maintains existing submission deadlines (60 days after case disposition). It does not alter data types or impose new fiscal impacts on state or local governments.
SB 9 is a criminal justice bill, not related to Medicaid as its title incorrectly states. It applies only to Clark County (population over 700,000) and targets misdemeanor offenses in designated "corridors" with high tourist activity. The bill mandates entry bans for repeat misdemeanor offenders (1-year minimum for second offenses) and requires justice courts to create specialized programs for corridor-related cases. It also mandates monthly reports to county commissioners and annual reports to the legislature detailing corridor crime statistics, while adding enhanced penalties for assaults against hospitality workers. The bill is pending after its first reading in November 2025.
AB 46 modifies Nevada's rules for handling confidential information from public utilities and similar entities. It prevents legal privileges (like trade secrets) from being lost simply because a utility shares such information with the Public Utilities Commission or its staff. The bill requires the Commission to protect this information through closed hearings, protective orders, and strict limits on public disclosure. This directly affects electric/gas providers, the Commission, and the Bureau of Consumer Protection by ensuring their private business details remain confidential during regulatory reviews. The law does not change what information utilities must provide, only how it is protected once shared.
SB 44 requires financial service businesses in Nevada - including mortgage servicers, lenders, collection agencies, and payday loan providers - to follow federal data security standards set by the FTC (16 C.F.R. Part 314). This means these businesses must create and maintain data protection plans, keep them in their business records, and report data breaches to state regulators within the Commissioner of Financial Institutions or Mortgage Lending. The bill also sets new financial and governance standards for large mortgage servicers (those handling 2,000+ loans across multiple states), including annual audits and risk management programs. These changes apply to over a dozen specific service types, aiming to align Nevada’s oversight with federal data security requirements.
SB 11 requires Nevada to reduce extended unemployment benefits by the same percentage as federal payments are cut due to automatic federal spending reductions (sequestration). This directly affects Nevada residents receiving extended unemployment benefits during periods when federal funding is reduced. The bill mandates that benefit amounts be reduced weekly based on the federal cut percentage, with a total annual reduction calculated from these weekly adjustments. It also requires the state to notify claimants of reductions and allow appeals only regarding calculation errors - not the reduction itself - per federal guidance.
