AB 490: Revises provisions relating to the venue for certain proceedings. (BDR 24-870)

AB 490 changes where certain legal cases can be filed in Nevada. It allows lawsuits involving specific matters - like decisions by the Secretary of State, Department of Transportation, or insurance disputes - to be brought in any "qualified judicial district" instead of only the First Judicial District Court. A "qualified district" must have at least three judges, an electronic filing system, and online access to court documents and hearings. This affects courts and people filing cases by expanding venue options to districts meeting these technical standards.

SB 306: Revises provisions relating to mental health services for children. (BDR 39-796)

SB 306 updates Nevada law to improve access to inpatient mental health care for children with emotional disturbances. It requires Medicaid-reimbursable treatment facilities to admit eligible children (removing prior needs for court orders or parental application) unless they lack resources, in which case they must help find another facility. The bill also mandates that facilities create discharge plans requiring parental/guardian agreement before releasing a child. These changes directly affect children needing mental health treatment, their families, and public/private psychiatric facilities receiving Medicaid payments. The law revises existing statutes to streamline admission and ensure coordinated care transitions.

AB 262: Revises provisions relating to elections. (BDR 24-362)

AB 262 allows election board officers, counting board officers, and high school student trainees to choose to work as volunteers without pay for election duties. The bill amends Nevada law to let county and city clerks appoint qualified high school students (16+, U.S. citizens, Nevada residents, enrolled in school) as trainees, with the option to volunteer after meeting school approval and training requirements. It also extends this volunteer choice to officers in special elections for Las Vegas City and the Airport Authorities in Battle Mountain and Carson City. The law does not change existing appointment rules but adds a new option for workers to forgo compensation.

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.

SB 364: Revises provisions relating to economic development. (BDR 32-799)

SB 364 creates a new tax abatement program specifically for businesses constructing, operating, or maintaining rail infrastructure (including tracks and spurs) in Nevada. It allows eligible businesses to receive partial reductions on property taxes, local sales taxes, or modified business taxes for up to 10 years, provided they meet requirements like paying at least the statewide average wage, increasing full-time employees, and making new capital investments. The bill also mandates audits by the Department of Taxation, requires public disclosure of audit findings under certain conditions, and includes reporting requirements for the Office of Economic Development. The program expires on June 30, 2045, as required by Nevada's Constitution.

AB 245: Revises provisions relating to firearms. (BDR 15-648)

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.
