AB 163: Enters into the Counseling Compact. (BDR 54-129)

AB 163 enters Nevada into the Counseling Compact, an agreement allowing licensed professional counselors from member states to practice in Nevada without obtaining a separate Nevada license. The bill requires counselors to maintain current home-state licensure, notify the Compact Commission, meet continuing education standards, and pass state-specific law assessments. It directly affects licensed counselors seeking multistate practice and Nevada’s Board of Examiners, which must share investigatory information with the Compact’s database. Key provisions include enabling telehealth counseling across member states and treating Compact practice as equivalent to Nevada-licensed counseling. This creates a streamlined process for counselors while maintaining public safety through shared disciplinary reporting.

AB 76: Revises provisions relating to cannabis. (BDR 56-286)

AB 76 revises Nevada's cannabis regulatory framework, primarily changing disciplinary procedures for cannabis businesses and licensees. It shifts key decisions from the Cannabis Compliance Board to its Executive Director, who now determines whether to pursue disciplinary action, serves notices of violation, and manages initial hearings through a hearing officer instead of the Board. The bill also authorizes the Board to issue warning letters or nonpunitive admonishments and use summonses for unlicensed cannabis activities. These changes streamline enforcement while preserving rights to Board review and judicial appeal for affected businesses.

SB 179: Revises provisions relating to discrimination. (BDR 18-35)

Nevada's SB 179 requires the Nevada Equal Rights Commission to consider whether discrimination claims in housing, employment, or public accommodations were motivated by antisemitism during investigations. The bill directly affects the Commission's investigative process and individuals filing discrimination complaints. It adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 definition of antisemitism, including its contemporary examples, as the standard for evaluating such claims. This policy change specifically adds antisemitism as a factor to be assessed in investigations, without altering existing protections against discrimination.

SB 233: Revises provisions relating to agriculture. (BDR S-704)

SB 233 creates a Nevada-grown food and farm product certification program requiring vendors to sell at least 51% Nevada-produced items to qualify. It also establishes a State Department of Agriculture Task Force on Farm Labor to study workforce development and visa programs, with a requirement to submit a report to the 2027 Legislature. The bill appropriates $800,000 for the Home Feeds Nevada Agriculture Food Purchase Program. This directly affects Nevada farmers, food vendors, and agricultural businesses by creating new certification standards and labor workforce studies.

AB 452: Revises provisions relating to public utilities. (BDR 58-572)

AB 452 requires certain Nevada electric utilities to include a cost-sharing mechanism in their 3-year integrated resource plans. This mechanism must forecast fuel and power costs, share cost savings or overruns between the utility and customers, and be based on the utility's projections. The bill mandates utilities to disclose these forecasts to the Public Utilities Commission, consumer protection offices, and approved intervenors, while also requiring annual cost caps and risk management strategies. It extends the Commission's review timeline for these plans from 135 to 180 days. The bill directly affects Nevada utilities responsible for electricity supply planning and their ratepayers.

AB 533: Revises provisions relating to education. (BDR 34-756)

AB 533 allows students to attend public schools outside their assigned neighborhood zone if the school has available space and the request is approved. It requires the state superintendent to create a standardized application process for transfers, prohibits schools from considering factors like race, income, or disability in approval decisions, and gives parents the right to appeal denials. School districts may choose not to provide transportation for students attending schools outside their zone. The bill directly affects students seeking alternative school placements, their families, and school districts managing enrollment.
Topics ✓ EducationSupports EducationExpands educational access by allowing school transfers outside neighborhood zones with non-discriminatory approval process, aligning with 'increases educational access' indicator.95% confidence

AB 460: Revises provisions relating to child welfare. (BDR 13-1060)

AB 460 allows parents or guardians to formally nominate a future guardian for a minor by submitting a signed form (with two witnesses) to Nevada's electronic Lockbox system. It creates two new legal presumptions that temporary guardianship is in a minor's best interest if: (1) no parent has cared for the child for 6+ months, or (2) parents are separated due to a federal immigration order. The bill expands support for relatives caring for children by allowing younger relatives (under the usual age requirement) to access financial assistance if the child was separated from parents due to immigration. It also appropriates funds to the Department of Education for trauma support services for students affected by trauma. These changes directly affect families navigating guardianship, child welfare systems, and community support programs in Nevada.

AB 405: Revises provisions relating to agriculture. (BDR S-911)

AB 405 requires Nevada's State Department of Agriculture Director to establish a program supporting community gardens and urban farms in areas with high food insecurity (including designated food deserts). This program will help residents in underserved communities access fresh food by expanding local food production. The bill authorizes the Director to accept gifts, donations, grants, or other funding to support this initiative. It directly affects communities facing food access challenges and the state agency managing agricultural programs.

AB 550: Revises provisions governing incompetent criminal defendants. (BDR 14-1120)

AB 550 revises procedures for committing defendants found incompetent to stand trial for certain felonies. It requires prosecutors to include a risk assessment request in their motion (not request it separately) and mandates courts to order the assessment within 5 days. If the assessment shows the person doesn’t need forensic-level security, the court must dismiss the commitment request. The bill also adds liability protection for the state if a person is discharged from conditional release. This directly affects defendants previously ordered to receive competency treatment whose felony charges were dismissed due to incompetence.
Topics ✓ Criminal JusticeSupports Criminal JusticePrevents unnecessary detention of incompetent defendants by mandating dismissal if forensic security isn't needed, aligning with rights protection in criminal justice reform.95% confidence

AB 444: Revises provisions relating to governmental administration. (BDR 18-772)

AB 444 revises Nevada's administrative procedures to better protect small businesses (fewer than 150 employees) from burdensome regulations. It requires state agencies and local governments to notify business associations and owners of proposed rules likely to significantly impact small businesses, include specific impact details in official statements, and conduct workshops before adopting such rules. The bill eliminates previous exemptions for local governments regarding impact fees and sales taxes, extending the same procedural requirements to these areas. It also clarifies that violations of these rules make any affected government action unenforceable. This law, approved by the governor on June 9, 2025, applies to all state agencies and local governments adopting regulations or fees affecting small businesses.

AB 598: Revises provisions relating to the development of certain parcels of state land. (BDR S-1248)

AB 598 exempts the Campus for Hope Foundation's development of state land for children's behavioral health services from standard state building oversight and public works regulations. It specifically applies to parcels at the Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services Campus (Clark County parcels 163-02-601-007 and 005) and waives requirements for the State Public Works Division's involvement and general public works rules. However, contractors for this project must still comply with prevailing wage requirements. The bill directly affects the Foundation's project to build facilities supporting children with behavioral health needs.

AB 462: Revises provisions relating to economic development. (BDR 22-823)

AB 462 revises economic development laws to expand the Inland Port Authority Act to include industrial parks, allowing counties and cities to create tax increment areas within these zones. This enables municipalities to use future tax revenue from designated areas to fund infrastructure projects through bond issuance, without being subject to certain tax revenue limits. The bill also requires large school districts (like Clark County) to offer career pathways programs at all high schools with 250+ students, including dual credit courses in education subjects and career exploration in middle/junior high schools. Additionally, it creates a Career Pathways Oversight Committee and mandates full-time coordinators for these programs at high schools offering them. The bill directly affects local governments managing industrial parks and school districts implementing career education programs.
