AB 266 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Makes revisions relating to breastfeeding. (BDR 40-595)

AB 266 requires Nevada's Department of Health and Human Services to post online accessible fact sheets about Medicaid breastfeeding coverage (including counseling, supplies, and lactation support) and a directory of community lactation services. It prohibits businesses classified as "public accommodations" from denying service to people breastfeeding their children or publishing conflicting notices, adding breastfeeding to existing anti-discrimination protections under Nevada law. The bill also mandates public education about lactation benefits and enables enforcement through the Nevada Equal Rights Commission, allowing victims to file complaints or civil actions for violations. This law directly affects breastfeeding individuals seeking services in public spaces like restaurants, stores, and healthcare facilities, and businesses serving the public.

What changed between versions

Reprint 1 As Enrolled · 4 edits · May 30, 2025
MODERATE
This bill was finalized as 'As Enrolled' after being a 'Reprint' version, meaning it has passed all legislative stages and is ready to become law. The substantive policy content regarding breastfeeding support, public education, and anti-discrimination protections remains consistent between the two versions, though the formatting and page numbering were updated to reflect its final status.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to mandate breastfeeding information on Medicaid websites, require public education on lactation, and prohibit discrimination against breastfeeding individuals in public accommodations.
TECHNICAL

The document status changed from a preliminary 'Reprint' with amendments to the final 'As Enrolled' version, indicating the bill has completed the legislative process.

Page headers and footers were updated to reflect the final session (83rd Session, 2025) and correct page numbering for the enrolled bill.

Preliminary text indicating the bill was reprinted with amendments adopted on April 16, 2025, was removed as this version is now the final law.

Formatting inconsistencies in the Legislative Counsel's Digest were corrected, such as removing line numbers and standardizing the layout.
