AB 423: Revises provisions relating to business. (BDR 53-852)

AB 423 revises Nevada business laws to provide specific exemptions and requirements. It allows sole proprietors (businesses with only one owner-employee) to elect not to contribute to the Unemployment Compensation Fund, but they lose eligibility for unemployment benefits. The bill also exempts certain new business license applicants from the $200 initial fee and first renewal fee if they commit to hiring full-time employees or making capital investments within two years, with a review at the second renewal. Additionally, it sets new rules for land use authorities reviewing modifications to personal wireless service facilities.

AB 337: Creates programs related to dementia. (BDR 38-456)

AB 337 creates two new programs to improve dementia care in Nevada. It requires the Aging and Disability Services Division to establish a dementia care specialist program providing crisis intervention, home-based support, and translation services for people with dementia and their families. The bill also authorizes UNLV and UNR medical schools to create the Nevada Memory Network, establishing clinics to train primary care providers in dementia screening, diagnosis, and care planning using telehealth. These programs aim to help individuals with dementia remain in their homes or with family instead of moving to long-term care facilities, with implementation dependent on available funding.

AB 245 would have raised the age limit for possessing certain firearms from 18 to 21 years. It prohibits anyone under 21 from handling, possessing, or controlling semiautomatic shotguns or semiautomatic centerfire rifles, making violations a gross misdemeanor. Adults who knowingly permit under-21 individuals to possess these firearms face increased penalties, including category C or B felonies for repeat offenses or when a violent act risk exists. The bill includes exemptions for military members, law enforcement, hunting with proper licenses, and authorized shooting activities. It also added penalties for negligently storing firearms where under-21 individuals might access them.

SB 374: Revises provisions relating to education. (BDR 34-752)

SB 374 requires Nevada public schools to collect and report additional discipline data, including temporary alternative placements, alongside existing suspension and expulsion records. It mandates all school districts to provide staff with professional development training on behavior management, restorative practices, and trauma-informed approaches by June 30, 2030, with annual reporting on training participation. The bill also establishes a statewide restorative justice framework to address disproportionate discipline and creates a system for districts to improve school climate and safety. These provisions directly affect public schools, school districts, and charter schools by changing data collection, staff training requirements, and accountability reporting.

AB 140: Revises provisions governing driver authorization cards. (BDR 43-200)

AB 140 changes how long driver authorization cards remain valid. Currently, these cards expire every four years on the holder's birthday anniversary. The bill requires the Nevada DMV to set expiration periods for these cards to match those for standard driver's licenses (as determined by DMV regulations). This affects individuals who hold driver authorization cards, which are issued to people not eligible for a regular driver's license.

AB 314: Revises provisions relating to economic development. (BDR 18-670)

AB 314 creates a new program to support individuals pursuing careers in K-12 education and health care. It requires the State Treasurer to establish a reimbursement system for education and licensure fees (like tuition, exams, and certification costs) for people in financial need preparing for these fields. The bill also authorizes grants to hospitals to partner with secondary schools for work-based learning programs for students. A new "Nevada Education and Health Care Pathways Account" will be funded with a $10 million state appropriation to cover these programs, with funds carried forward annually. This directly affects Nevada residents seeking careers in teaching or health care, as well as participating hospitals and schools.

AB 290: Revises provisions relating to prior authorization for medical or dental care under health insurance plans. (BDR 57-861)

AB 290 revises prior authorization rules for health and dental insurance coverage, affecting all health insurers (including Medicaid and CHIP plans) and the patients and providers who rely on them. It requires insurers to publicly list covered services needing authorization and their clinical criteria, shorten response times (48 hours for urgent care, 7 days for routine care), and prohibit denying claims if prior authorization wasn't required at the time of service. The bill also mandates disclosure of AI use in processing requests, requires physician review for denials, and bans prior authorization for emergency care. These changes aim to increase transparency, reduce delays, and protect patients from unnecessary coverage denials.

AB 149: Revises provisions relating to cannabis. (BDR 56-51)

AB 149 requires Nevada's Cannabis Compliance Board to create rules for sharing data with research institutions, such as universities, to support cannabis industry research. It defines "research institution" as organizations focused on medical, scientific, or academic work and authorizes the Board to disclose confidential data under these new rules. The bill also allocates funding to the Cannabis Policy Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for personnel, operations, travel, and research expenses. This directly affects the Cannabis Compliance Board (which must adopt the rules) and the UNLV research institute (which receives the funding), enabling data sharing for research without altering existing confidentiality protections.

AB 83 designates October 25 as "Larry Itliong Day" in Nevada, requiring the Governor to annually declare this date each year. The bill directs the Governor to call on media, educators, and community leaders to highlight Larry Itliong’s contributions to labor rights and the Filipino-American community. This is a ceremonial observance with no new policies or fiscal impact, recognizing Itliong’s role as a co-founder of the United Farm Workers union and his work in the 1965 Delano Grape Strike.

AB 244: Enacts prohibitions relating to the use of disposable foodware containers containing polystyrene foam by certain food dispensing establishments. (BDR 40-685)

AB 244 bans the use of polystyrene foam food containers by most food establishments in Nevada. Starting October 1, 2025, restaurants with 10 or more Nevada locations must stop selling or serving food in these containers, with a $100 daily civil penalty for violations. Small businesses (under 10 locations) are exempt unless they operate in states that already banned foam. The full statewide ban takes effect January 1, 2029, with existing inventory allowed until depleted. The law specifically targets single-use containers like cups, trays, and clamshells made from polystyrene foam.
