AB 197 strengthens privacy protections for individuals supporting nonprofits by requiring government entities to keep donor, member, and volunteer information confidential. It prohibits government from requesting, sharing, or publicly disclosing personal details (like names, addresses, or donation records) that identify someone as a supporter of a nonprofit organization. The bill explicitly states such information is not a public record and allows individuals to sue if harmed by violations. It directly affects nonprofits, their supporters, and government agencies handling their data, ensuring greater privacy for those engaging with charitable groups.
AB 45 updates Nevada's legal framework for victim support by renaming the "Committee on Domestic Violence" to the "Committee on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault" and expanding its duties to include sexual assault issues. The bill revises committee membership to include one sexual assault survivor, one sexual assault program staff member, and one medical professional with forensic kit experience, while reducing domestic violence survivor members from two to one. It also renames the "Account for Programs Related to Domestic Violence" to include sexual assault, allowing the Ombudsman to use funds for sexual assault victim services and training. Additionally, the bill shifts oversight of tracking sexual assault forensic evidence kits from a working group to the renamed committee. These changes directly affect victims' support programs, law enforcement training, and state oversight of sexual assault case evidence.
AB 11 changes when Nevada's Department of Taxation submits its budget and proposed legislation to the Nevada Tax Commission. Instead of submitting these documents in June of even-numbered years as currently required, the Department must now submit them in January of odd-numbered years. This procedural adjustment affects the Department of Taxation and the Nevada Tax Commission, streamlining the timeline for legislative review.
AB 235 expands confidentiality protections for specific health care professionals and their families. It allows reproductive health providers, their employees/volunteers, gender-affirming care providers, and their spouses/domestic partners or minor children to request: (1) court orders keeping their personal information confidential with county recorders, assessors, or elections officials, and (2) alternate addresses displayed on Nevada driver’s licenses or ID cards through the DMV. The bill modifies existing Nevada law (NRS 247.540 and 481.091) to include these new categories of applicants. It directly affects health care workers providing reproductive or gender-affirming care and their immediate family members seeking privacy protections.
AB 111 changes penalties for driving violations on divided highways in Nevada. It revises Nevada Revised Statute 484B.227 to make violations - such as driving over a highway divider, barrier, or making unauthorized turns - criminal misdemeanors instead of civil infractions. This directly affects drivers who commit these specific traffic violations, subjecting them to criminal charges rather than standard traffic tickets. The law maintains existing driving rules but elevates the penalty level, with misdemeanor convictions carrying potential jail time or fines beyond standard traffic penalties.
AB 192 enacts two uniform acts for California: the Uniform Easement Relocation Act and the Uniform Mortgage Modification Act. The easement act allows property owners to seek court approval to relocate certain easements (like utility or access rights) if it doesn’t harm the easement’s purpose or property value, while prohibiting relocation for utility, conservation, or negative easements. The mortgage act creates safe harbor rules for common modifications (e.g., extending payment dates, lowering interest rates), ensuring these changes don’t affect mortgage priority or require recording. These provisions directly affect property owners with easements, easement holders, and lenders handling mortgage modifications. The bill makes no new financial impact on state or local government.
SB 161 revises Nevada's collective bargaining rules for school districts and teachers' unions. It creates new timelines for binding arbitration when teacher contract negotiations stall: either 75 days before school starts (if no agreement exists) or after an expired contract. The bill also prohibits school districts from requiring teachers to work more hours than specified in an expired contract. Additionally, it changes strike rules by removing penalties for individual teachers during disputes and excluding teachers from existing requirements like written no-strike pledges. These changes apply specifically to teachers represented by employee organizations in Nevada school districts.
AB 25 revises health care requirements for incarcerated women by narrowing when annual pelvic examinations and mammograms must be provided - only for those over 21 (for pelvic exams) or over 40 (for mammograms), unless a healthcare provider recommends them based on medical history. The bill repeals a program requiring courts to offer regimental discipline as an alternative to incarceration and removes court authority to order it. Additionally, it updates notarization rules for incarcerated people, allowing inmate ID cards or sworn declarations to verify identity for document notarization. These changes directly affect incarcerated women, courts, and correctional facilities in Nevada.
AB 196 revises Nevada’s psychology licensing rules to allow unlicensed individuals to perform certain psychological tests under a licensed psychologist’s direct supervision, with the title "psychometrist" permitted for these specific roles. The bill also establishes a 3-year limit for filing disciplinary complaints against psychology professionals (previously no time limit), and removes requirements for psychology-focused businesses to register with the Board. These changes directly affect psychologists, unlicensed test administrators, and psychology-related businesses. The bill does not impose new costs on state or local governments.
AB 248 ratifies Nevada's participation in the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, allowing licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants from member states to practice in Nevada without obtaining a separate Nevada license. The bill establishes requirements for practitioners, including holding an active license in their home state, having no recent disciplinary actions, and reporting any adverse actions within 30 days. It also creates a joint Compact Commission to manage the system and requires Nevada’s Physical Therapy Board to share relevant licensing information through a shared data system. This directly affects physical therapy professionals seeking to practice across state lines within the Compact.
AB 236 revises how teachers and education professionals are selected for Nevada state education boards and councils. It changes the nomination process from requiring the Governor to appoint members from lists submitted by the Nevada State Education Association (NSEA) to appointing them from lists submitted by specific employee organizations representing: (1) teachers in large school districts (currently Clark County only) and (2) teachers in other districts, or (1) school counselors/psychologists in large districts and (2) in other districts. The bill maintains the same number of appointments but shifts nomination authority to district-specific employee groups instead of NSEA. This directly affects how educators and support staff are represented on boards like the State Board of Education and the Teachers and Leaders Council. The changes have no fiscal impact on state or local government.
AB 153 requires school districts operating education programs in Nevada correctional facilities to help incarcerated students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Specifically, it mandates that these districts hold at least one annual event at each facility where students can receive assistance completing the FAFSA, and report certain program data to the State Treasurer. The bill applies directly to school districts running such programs and the incarcerated students enrolled in them. It updates existing requirements (previously only for K-12 students in general settings) to ensure incarcerated individuals have access to federal financial aid support. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
