Veterans (Veteran Education · Licensing)

AB 274 requires Nevada's Secretary of State to waive the standard $200-$500 fee for state business licenses for three groups: (1) eligible veterans, (2) gold star family members (relatives of fallen veterans), or (3) businesses where at least 51% is owned by veterans or gold star family members. The waiver applies to licenses issued on or after July 1, 2025, and covers the initial license fee only (not local permits). This policy directly affects veterans, their families, and veteran-owned businesses seeking state-level licensing. The bill amends Nevada Revised Statute 76.100 to implement this fee exemption.
