AB 171 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the State Quarantine Officer. (BDR 51-985)

AB 171 allows Nevada's State Quarantine Officer to temporarily pause state egg sale rules during national supply chain disruptions (like animal diseases or natural disasters), affecting egg producers, retailers, and government purchasers. The law permits up to two 120-day suspensions per year, requires public notice before ending a suspension, and allows selling grade B eggs or enabling small farms to sell directly to retailers during emergencies. It specifically modifies existing cage-free egg regulations (NRS 583.211-583.251) to permit these temporary exceptions. The bill became law after passing both legislative chambers with no opposition.

MODERATE

This bill transitions from a pre-filed draft to its final enrolled version, adding the official chapter title and a detailed Legislative Counsel's Digest that explains the law's purpose. The core policy text remains substantively unchanged, authorizing the State Quarantine Officer to temporarily suspend cage-free egg requirements for up to 120 days during national supply chain emergencies.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to apply to the sale and transport of eggs in Nevada during specific supply chain disruptions.

TECHNICAL

Added the official chapter header and a comprehensive Legislative Counsel's Digest summarizing the bill's sections and intent.

Included the standard 'Explanatory Matter' note regarding formatting conventions for new and omitted text.

Removed the 'Reprint' header and the original summary/fiscal note block, which were replaced by the final chapter and digest.

Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest to use a continuous paragraph format instead of a numbered list.
