SB 194 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing the short-term lease of a passenger car. (BDR 43-715)

SB 194 exempts short-term leases of replacement vehicles from a 10% governmental services fee that normally applies to passenger car rentals. It directly affects short-term lessors (like rental companies) and lessees who temporarily rent a vehicle through a repair facility or dealer when their own car is unavailable due to mechanical issues, damage, or repair. The bill amends Nevada law to exclude replacement vehicles from the fee calculation, which would otherwise apply to 10% of the lease amount (excluding taxes and specific charges). This change applies only to vehicles used as temporary replacements, not standard short-term rentals. The fee exemption does not alter reporting requirements or other fees for regular rentals.

MINOR
This bill transitions from a draft version to its final enacted form, adding official chapter and session details. The core policy remains unchanged, continuing to require short-term car rental companies to verify that lessees have valid insurance or purchase a temporary policy. It also maintains rules prohibiting rental companies from forcing lessees to buy optional add-ons and sets specific price caps for damage waivers.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; no new entities are added or existing rules altered regarding who must comply.
TECHNICAL

Added official formatting elements including the 'Chapter' placeholder, the '83rd Session (2025)' identifier, and the formal 'Enacted' header language to finalize the bill's legal status.

Removed the 'Reprint' header and the 'Summary' section, which are typically used for tracking and informational purposes during the legislative process but are not part of the final law text.

Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest and statutory sections to align with the standard layout of an enrolled bill, removing line numbers and draft-specific annotations.
