AB 422 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the Civil Air Patrol. (BDR 36-190)

AB 422 creates leave protections for Nevada employees who volunteer with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). It guarantees up to 10 workdays annually for CAP emergency training and 30 days for actual emergency response, without loss of job position, seniority, or benefits. Employers must accept this leave (treating it as unpaid unless they choose to pay it) and cannot require employees to use other leave first; employees must provide CAP verification, and violations allow lawsuits for lost wages. The bill directly affects CAP members employed in Nevada, ensuring they can serve without workplace penalties.
