SB 397 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Makes various changes relating to alternative medicine. (BDR 54-117)

SB 397 establishes a regulatory framework for naturopathic medicine in Nevada. It requires the Nevada Board of Homeopathic and Naturopathic Medical Examiners to license naturopathic physicians and certify naturopathic assistants, defining their scope of practice - including prescribing certain natural substances and controlled drugs under specific conditions. The bill also adds disciplinary grounds for violations, aligns naturopathic practices with existing regulations for other medical professionals, and expands the Board's membership to include naturopathic physicians. This directly affects naturopathic practitioners and their patients within Nevada, creating standardized licensing and practice rules.
