Enacts a shield law to protect the transgender community. (BDR 54-12)

SB 171 prohibits Nevada health care licensing boards from denying licenses or imposing discipline on providers for offering medically necessary gender-affirming care, and bars the state from extraditing individuals charged in other states for such care unless the act would also be illegal in Nevada. The bill also prevents state agencies from sharing information or using state resources to assist out-of-state investigations targeting providers of gender-affirming health care. It defines "gender-affirming care" as services aligning with a patient's gender identity and meeting medical necessity standards (excluding conversion therapy), and requires licensing boards to explore reciprocal licensing with other states to facilitate care for out-of-state patients. This law directly affects transgender patients, health care providers, and Nevada's state agencies in their interactions with out-of-state legal actions.
