AB 12 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises requirements for obtaining judicial review of a decision of the Board of Review concerning a claim for unemployment benefits. (BDR 53-309)

AB 12 clarifies and tightens procedural requirements for appealing unemployment benefit decisions in Nevada. It requires appellants to serve a petition on the Employment Security Division Administrator within 45 days of filing their case, with strict compliance to Nevada's civil procedure rules. If the petition is defective or improperly served, the Administrator can move to dismiss the case, and appellants must correct errors within 10 business days - failure to do so automatically results in dismissal. This directly affects individuals challenging unemployment benefit denials and the state's Employment Security Division. The law applies to all petitions filed after its effective date (June 11, 2025).
