Revises provisions relating to privileges applicable to information obtained from records and other property of public utilities and certain other entities. (BDR 58-310)

AB 46 modifies Nevada's rules for handling confidential information from public utilities and similar entities. It prevents legal privileges (like trade secrets) from being lost simply because a utility shares such information with the Public Utilities Commission or its staff. The bill requires the Commission to protect this information through closed hearings, protective orders, and strict limits on public disclosure. This directly affects electric/gas providers, the Commission, and the Bureau of Consumer Protection by ensuring their private business details remain confidential during regulatory reviews. The law does not change what information utilities must provide, only how it is protected once shared.
