AB 235 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to health care providers. (BDR 20-844)

AB 235 expands confidentiality protections for specific health care professionals and their families. It allows reproductive health providers, their employees/volunteers, gender-affirming care providers, and their spouses/domestic partners or minor children to request: (1) court orders keeping their personal information confidential with county recorders, assessors, or elections officials, and (2) alternate addresses displayed on Nevada driver’s licenses or ID cards through the DMV. The bill modifies existing Nevada law (NRS 247.540 and 481.091) to include these new categories of applicants. It directly affects health care workers providing reproductive or gender-affirming care and their immediate family members seeking privacy protections.
