AB 295 shortens health insurers' response times for prior authorization requests: 5 days for non-urgent care and 48 hours for urgent care. It requires insurers to clearly explain denials to patients and providers, extends approval validity to 12 months for chronic conditions, and mandates transparency about AI use in decisions (including physician review for denials). Insurers must also submit annual reports on prior authorization requests to state agencies, which will publish the data online. The bill applies to all health insurers, including Medicaid and CHIP programs, and imposes penalties for noncompliance.
AB 73 requires any election-related communication (such as ads supporting candidates or soliciting donations) that uses synthetic media - like AI-generated images, videos, or audio - to clearly disclose that the content has been manipulated. This disclosure must appear in a visible, readable format (e.g., text size matching other content in videos, spoken at key points in audio) and include the exact phrase "This (image/video/audio) has been manipulated." It applies to campaigns, political committees, and parties, with exemptions for low-cost items like clothing under $5. Violations could result in civil penalties up to $50,000 for disclosure failures or $10,000 for failing to file copies with the Secretary of State.
SB 186 requires Nevada medical facilities and providers using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create written or verbal communications about a patient’s clinical care to include two specific elements: a clear disclaimer stating the communication was AI-generated, and instructions on how to contact a real provider for assistance. It specifies where disclaimers must appear (e.g., prominently at the start of written messages, throughout chat-based telehealth, or at both ends of audio calls). Communications reviewed and approved by a healthcare provider before sharing with patients are exempt from these requirements. The law applies to all medical facilities and providers covered under Nevada’s existing healthcare regulations, with enforcement through standard disciplinary actions for noncompliance.
AB 537 requires Nevada's Department of Taxation to inform taxpayers when they are interacting with artificial intelligence during tax administration, collection, or disciplinary actions. It clarifies that all records generated by AI used by the department - such as tax filings or communications - are protected as confidential and privileged, same as human-created records. This directly affects taxpayers engaging with the department about taxes, fees, or disciplinary matters. The law ensures transparency about AI use while maintaining the confidentiality of all tax-related information, whether created by humans or AI.
SB 199 requires AI companies in Nevada to register with the Bureau of Consumer Protection and comply with specific regulations. It mandates that AI-generated legal documents be reviewed by a licensed attorney before use, prohibits using AI-generated human images for paid services, and requires social media platforms to obtain user opt-in before using search data to train AI systems. The bill also directs employers to report AI-related job losses, mandates county recorders to verify identities against AI fraud, and requires law enforcement agencies to develop AI usage policies. These provisions directly affect AI developers, legal service providers, social media platforms, employers, and government agencies operating within Nevada.
