AB 198 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to certain inflatable devices. (BDR 52-49)

AB 198 regulates businesses that operate inflatable recreational devices like bounce houses and waterslides in Nevada. It requires these businesses to hold proper licenses, carry $1 million in insurance, and maintain detailed logbooks documenting safety inspections before and during each use. Operators must check for hazards, missing manufacturer labels, and wind speeds (stopping operation if winds exceed 10 mph or the manufacturer's limit), and properly anchor devices. Violations create a legal presumption of recklessness in related lawsuits.
