Prohibits the provision of electroconvulsive therapy to a minor. (BDR 54-59)

SB 335 prohibits healthcare providers in Nevada from administering electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to anyone under 18 years old, regardless of parental consent or the minor’s own agreement. This directly affects minors seeking ECT for severe mental health conditions and healthcare providers who would otherwise offer this treatment. The bill imposes professional discipline on providers who violate this ban, defining ECT as a procedure using electrical currents to induce seizures for treating severe psychiatric disorders. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025, and applies statewide to all licensed healthcare professionals.
