AB 2 Nevada Assembly · 36th (2026) Special Session

Revises provisions relating to alcoholic beverages. (BDR 32-24)

AB 2 exempts certain liquor stores operating under specific gaming licenses from existing payment rules. It applies to stores owned by or affiliated with holders of "nonrestricted licenses" (which allow 16+ slot machines or combined gaming operations) or stores with "restricted licenses" that also hold nonrestricted licenses. Under this bill, these exempt stores are no longer required to pay via electronic funds transfer within 30 days or bear credit card processing fees, allowing alternative payment methods. The change directly affects liquor retailers with these gaming license types, removing administrative constraints on their payment transactions with wholesale dealers.

As Introduced → As Enrolled · 4 edits · Nov 18, 2025
MODERATE
This bill was converted from an 'As Introduced' version to an 'As Enrolled' version, meaning it has been approved and is ready to become law. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, with only minor formatting and structural changes. The bill regulates payments between wholesale and retail liquor stores, requiring electronic funds transfers and prohibiting wholesale dealers from lending money to or investing in retail liquor stores.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains unchanged. It continues to apply to wholesale dealers and retail liquor stores in Nevada, with the same restrictions on payments, investments, and business relationships between these entities.
TECHNICAL

Removed prefiling date and select committee reference information that was present in the 'As Introduced' version but is not needed in the final enrolled version.

Changed formatting from 'A.B. 2' to 'Assembly Bill No. 2-Select Committee' and removed line numbers in the Legislative Counsel's Digest section.

Reorganized the bill structure by moving the 'The People of the State of Nevada' preamble to the top and removing the explanatory section that was between the digest and the enacted text.

Removed page number markers and asterisks that were used in the 'As Introduced' version for tracking purposes.
