AB 304 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishing certain notification and reporting requirements concerning pilot programs that research transcranial magnetic stimulation or electromagnetic brain pulse treatment. (BDR S-865)

AB 304 requires Nevada’s Department of Health and Human Services to create a pilot program studying electromagnetic brain pulse treatment - a noninvasive, non-drug therapy using magnetic pulses to address brainwave abnormalities. The program must identify treatment best practices, analyze patient risks, examine existing research data, and assess barriers to adopting this treatment in medical care. The department must submit a final report with findings and recommendations to the Governor and the Health and Human Services committee by July 1, 2027. This bill directly affects the department’s operations and future healthcare policy decisions regarding this specific treatment method.
