SB 158 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions exempting certain work from the provisions governing the licensure and regulation of contractors. (BDR 54-960)

SB 158 increases the monetary threshold for work exempt from Nevada's contractor licensing requirements from $1,000 to $5,000, excluding the value of materials from this calculation. It directly affects homeowners performing minor repairs or maintenance (under $5,000 excluding materials) and small contractors who previously needed licenses for such work. Key provisions include raising the exemption limit and clarifying that material costs are not counted toward the threshold. This change reduces regulatory burden for smaller projects while maintaining exemptions for government work, licensed contractors, and other specified cases. The bill has no fiscal impact on state or local governments.
