Revises provisions relating to boards, commissions, councils and similar bodies. (BDR 18-1246)

AB 601 revises Nevada's governance of professional licensing boards and other advisory bodies by centralizing administrative support under the Office of Nevada Boards, Commissions and Councils Standards. It requires the Office to provide accounting, IT, and hearing officer services to all licensed boards - prohibiting boards from paying outside entities for these services - and mandates that all fees collected be deposited into a dedicated state account. The bill also standardizes board operations by requiring annual officer elections, restricting information posting to a single state website, and mandating periodic reviews of all such bodies by the Office. These changes directly affect all professional licensing boards (e.g., for doctors, contractors, cosmetologists) under the Office's purview.
