AB 136 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to animals. (BDR 50-168)

AB 136 requires animal shelters and commercial businesses that sell, display, or allow public interaction with animals (such as breeders, retailers, or dealers) to post a clear notice near animal enclosures. The notice must state that the public can contact local animal control if they observe an animal in danger, being mistreated, or subjected to cruelty, and include the local animal control authority’s phone number. This applies to all facilities where animals are housed or shown to the public, including cages, pens, or rooms. The bill amends Nevada law to make reporting animal cruelty more accessible by providing direct contact information.
