SB 167 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the importation and sale of household cleaning products for which animal testing was performed. (BDR 52-892)

SB 167, vetoed by the Governor on June 2, 2025, would have prohibited Nevada manufacturers from importing, selling, or offering for sale household cleaning products (like dish soap, laundry detergent, or glass cleaners) if animal testing was conducted on the product or its ingredients after January 1, 2030. The bill included exceptions for testing required by foreign regulations, when non-animal testing methods don’t exist, or for safety assessments where animal testing is necessary. It also exempted products tested before 2030 or ingredients where suppliers couldn’t verify no animal testing occurred. As a vetoed bill, it has not become law.
