SB 507 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to governmental administration. (BDR 18-1252)

SB 507 revises Nevada's administrative structure for professional licensing boards and transportation regulations. It allows the Office of Nevada Boards, Commissions and Councils to charge fees to cover its costs when providing services to licensing boards (like those for architects or cosmetologists), with collected funds deposited into a new dedicated account. The bill also removes the Commission on Postsecondary Education from the Office's oversight and updates taxi/transportation company rules to clarify fee collection and allow taxi companies to partner with ride-hailing apps under certain conditions. These changes directly affect licensing boards, state agencies managing professional licenses, and taxi/ride-hailing businesses. The bill focuses on administrative clarity and funding mechanisms rather than new substantive regulations.

MODERATE
This bill update adds new provisions allowing the Office of Nevada Boards, Commissions and Councils Standards to charge fees for services provided to licensing boards, removes the Commission on Postsecondary Education from the Office's oversight, and clarifies technology fee collection rules for taxicabs and transportation network companies.
Scope change
The bill now explicitly authorizes fee-setting for services to licensing boards and removes one specific commission from the Office's purview, while clarifying how technology fees are collected between different regulatory entities.
FISCAL

New authority added for the Office to adopt regulations prescribing fees for services provided to professional or occupational licensing boards under its purview.

SCOPE

The Commission on Postsecondary Education of the Employment Security Division is removed from the Office of Nevada Boards, Commissions and Councils Standards oversight.

REQUIREMENT

Technology fee collection rules updated to clarify that fees may be set by either the Nevada Transportation Authority or the Taxicab Authority depending on circumstances, with payments going to the appropriate entity.

New provisions authorize transportation network companies to enter agreements with taxicab motor carriers for digital passenger connections, with trips resulting from such agreements subject to taxicab rather than transportation network company regulations.
