AB 20 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the Department of Motor Vehicles. (BDR 43-305)

AB 20 allows Nevada's Department of Motor Vehicles to adopt individualized symbols or codes for specific medical conditions on driver's licenses and identification cards, in addition to the single symbol previously required. The bill specifies qualifying conditions like diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, and mental health conditions, and mandates that the DMV maintain medical records using standardized ICD codes. It also updates vehicle insurance verification procedures, requiring electronic notifications for owners who have opted to receive DMV communications electronically. These changes provide more detailed medical information on licenses and modernize DMV communication processes.
