AB 116 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to food delivery service platform providers. (BDR 52-898)

AB 116 requires food delivery platforms (like Uber Eats or DoorDash) and restaurants to verify that restaurants have valid local business licenses authorizing operations at their specific location before accepting online orders. Restaurants must hold the required local license to accept orders through these platforms, and platforms must remove restaurants that violate this rule or provide false license information. Violating restaurants face $100 per order penalties, while platforms failing to remove violators face $500 per day in penalties after a 10-day notice period. This bill, effective January 1, 2026, amends Nevada’s existing food delivery regulations (NRS 597.7635) to strengthen license verification requirements.

MODERATE

This bill prohibits food delivery platforms and restaurants from facilitating online orders unless the restaurant holds a specific local business license for its exact address. It adds a new requirement for platforms to have a written agreement with the restaurant and mandates that platforms remove non-compliant restaurants within 10 days of receiving verified complaints. Penalties were established for restaurants ($100 per violation) and platforms ($500 per day of non-compliance after the 10-day window).

Scope change

The bill expands regulatory requirements to explicitly mandate local business licenses for the specific address where food is prepared, rather than relying solely on existing written agreements between platforms and restaurants.
