AB 385 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to governmental administration. (BDR 22-851)

AB 385 prohibits Clark County and cities within Clark County (like Las Vegas) from banning or restricting water-cooling tower systems in large commercial or industrial projects requiring 500+ cooling tons. It directly affects developers and local governments in Clark County by limiting their authority over building codes for these projects, while allowing cities to create exemption processes for qualifying developments. The bill exempts industrial or warehouse projects from these restrictions. Key provisions prevent local governments from enacting rules that would block water-cooling towers in eligible projects requiring professional engineering review.
