SB 8 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to services provided by the Aging and Disability Services Division of the Department of Health and Human Services. (BDR 38-288)

SB 8 revises Nevada's labor laws to align state wage and hour rules with federal exceptions under the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947. It adds specific exclusions from paid work time, including preparatory activities, training sessions, and certain travel time, which previously were not covered under Nevada law. The bill also updates overtime calculation rules to match federal regulations. These changes apply to employees in Nevada’s Aging and Disability Services Division (and similar state workers) and expire on October 31, 2029. The law affects how employers calculate compensable hours and overtime for state employees in these roles.

MODERATE
This bill updates legal definitions and titles to align disability service categories with current state law. It replaces the outdated term 'related condition' with 'developmental disability' and clarifies that 'intellectual disability' is defined consistently with existing state statutes. These changes ensure that the Attorney for the Rights of Older Persons and Persons with Disabilities serves the same population that receives state disability services.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded by clarifying eligibility criteria and aligning terminology with current state definitions for intellectual and developmental disabilities.
DEFINITION

Replaced the term 'person with a related condition' with 'person with a developmental disability' to match current state law definitions.

Updated the definition of 'person with an intellectual disability' to reference NRS 435.007 for consistency with existing disability services law.

REQUIREMENT

Renamed the Office of Attorney to include 'Developmental Disability' instead of 'Related Condition' to reflect updated terminology.

ELIGIBILITY

Ensured that individuals eligible for the Attorney's services match the same categories of people who receive state disability services.
