AB 406 requires public schools to post mental health resources online and hold quarterly mental health education assemblies for students. It bans public schools from using artificial intelligence to perform counseling duties related to student mental health and prohibits unlicensed individuals from claiming expertise in mental or behavioral health care. The bill also deems absences for mental health reasons (including bullying, bereavement, or mental distress) as approved, credits these absences toward attendance requirements, and prevents denial of credit/promotion for students meeting academic standards despite such absences. These changes directly affect public school students, staff, and mental health providers in Nevada.
SB 128 modifies healthcare coverage rules to protect patients from automated denials and improve access to information about stem cell treatments. It prohibits health insurers (including Medicaid, CHIP, and public employee plans) from using AI or automated tools to deny, modify, or reduce coverage for prior authorization requests, requiring human review by qualified healthcare professionals instead. The bill also mandates that doctors discuss stem cell therapy options with patients diagnosed with conditions like arthritis or osteoarthritis, and inform new primary care patients about stem cell donation, banking, or storage options during their first visit. These changes directly affect patients seeking coverage, healthcare providers, and insurers operating in Nevada.
AB 271 prohibits the use of artificial intelligence in voting equipment, ballot processing, and counting systems. It requires disclosures for any AI-generated election-related content (e.g., ads advocating for candidates or ballot measures) and bans the distribution of deceptive deepfakes of candidates within 90 days of an election, with limited exceptions for news coverage, satire, and verified disclaimers. The bill directly affects election technology vendors, political advertisers, and content creators, mandating transparency and restricting AI-generated misinformation during elections. Key provisions define "synthetic media" and "deceptive deepfakes" to clarify enforcement.
AB 325 requires state and local emergency management plans to ensure final decisions about emergency response and resource allocation are made by people, not artificial intelligence. It also prohibits public utilities from using AI alone to decide whether to cut power or water during disasters. The bill defines "artificial intelligence" as systems that make predictions or decisions influencing environments based on human objectives. These rules apply to all government emergency plans and utility service decisions during declared disasters or emergencies.
