Maddy summaryAB 428 requires most health insurance plans in Nevada to cover fertility preservation services for individuals diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer who face infertility from the cancer or its treatment. This coverage must include medically necessary procedures as defined by established medical guidelines, such as egg or sperm freezing before cancer treatment begins. Insurers affiliated with religious organizations may exclude this coverage if they provide written notice to insureds about the exemption. The law applies to private health plans, Medicaid, and state/local government employee health insurance, with enforcement by the Insurance Commissioner for non-compliance.

Maddy summarySB 262 transfers administration of Nevada’s Graduate Medical Education Grant Program from the Office of Science to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHS). It requires medical institutions receiving grants to obtain DHS approval before eliminating or reducing residency training programs, with criteria including demonstrating reduced patient need and no negative impact on healthcare provider availability. The bill expands grant eligibility to include programs exceeding Medicare-funded resident slots and allows DHS to provide limited grants for new program development and staffing. It also directs DHS to explore using Medicaid funding to support residency programs, effective as of its passage and signing into law on June 10, 2025.

Maddy summaryAB 212 renames Nevada's "Virtual Early Childhood Family Engagement Pilot Program" to simply "Virtual Early Childhood Family Engagement Program" and removes a requirement limiting children's screen time to American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations. The bill extends the program's funding and operation through September 2027, requiring the administering nonprofit to submit annual reports and the Department of Health and Human Services to compile and submit these reports to state legislators. It directly affects parents and guardians of children who will enter kindergarten, particularly those from low-income households (≤200% federal poverty level), foster care, or rural areas, by providing virtual coaching and resources via digital devices. The bill includes a new state appropriation to fund these services, which include connecting families to childcare, housing, Medicaid, and early education resources.

Maddy summaryAB 123 makes it a crime to threaten or intimidate a candidate for public office or their family members regarding bodily injury or property damage. It specifically targets threats that cause reasonable fear of being carried out, with first offenses classified as misdemeanors and repeat offenses as gross misdemeanors. The bill creates a process where candidates can report threats to the Secretary of State, who must investigate and refer serious cases to the Attorney General if reasonable suspicion exists. This law directly affects election candidates and their families by adding criminal penalties for targeted threats, while explicitly protecting constitutionally protected free speech.

Maddy summaryAB 441 modifies Nevada's Educational Choice Scholarship Program by changing how tax credits for donations to scholarship organizations are processed. It requires scholarship organizations to apply for tax credit approval between May 1 and June 1 each year, with approvals issued by July 1. The bill establishes a priority system for allocating funds: first to students who received grants last year, then to their siblings, and finally to other applicants, with unmet demand handled through proportional allocation. The bill was vetoed by the Governor on June 10, 2025, so it did not become law.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands prevailing wage requirements to include workers performing "custom fabrication" (making non-standard items specifically for public projects) on public works, performance contracts, and Tahoe-Douglas Visitor’s Authority projects. It revises definitions to clarify "custom fabrication" and ensures these workers receive the same prevailing wage rates currently required for other public work labor. The requirement applies to new contracts after January 1, 2026, but not to contracts awarded before that date. It directly affects contractors, workers, local governments, state agencies, and the Tahoe-Douglas Visitor’s Authority on eligible projects.

Maddy summaryAB 93 expands Nevada's definition of "police officer" to include school police officers, juvenile probation officers, municipal court bailiffs/deputy marshals, city marshals/deputy marshals, and all category I peace officers. This change directly affects these public safety workers by extending their eligibility for specific benefits and exemptions previously limited to traditional police officers. Key provisions include applying existing industrial insurance coverage, jury exemption, disability compensation, and survivor benefit programs (under NRS 6.020, 281.153, 287.021, and 287.0477) to the newly included roles. The bill also clarifies that departmental designations used by the Department of Public Safety do not exclude eligible employees from this expanded definition. This is a policy change to align benefits with current public safety roles, not a new benefit creation.

Maddy summaryAB 366 streamlines Nevada's supportive housing funding by removing the requirement that grant programs depend on available appropriations. It redesignates the Nevada Supportive Housing Development Fund from a special revenue fund to an account within the State General Fund, ensuring money carries forward annually without reverting. The bill appropriates $21 million for the program and requires the Governor to explain in writing if budget requests for this account are omitted in future executive budgets. The program provides grants to develop subsidized housing and deliver supportive services (like case management and health care) for people with disabilities who face homelessness or housing barriers.

Maddy summaryAB 117 creates special license plates supporting the Las Vegas Aces WNBA team, available to Nevada drivers for a $35 initial fee ($25 of which goes to the Las Vegas Aces Foundation) and $10 annual renewal ($20 to the foundation). The bill exempts these plates from standard approval requirements for special license plates and removes restrictions preventing new car dealers from processing applications for them. Funds from the additional fees will support the foundation's programs focused on health/fitness for disadvantaged children, education, and women in sports. The bill does not affect existing plate types but specifically authorizes these plates for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

Maddy summaryAB 254 creates a new Community Project Grant Program to provide funding to Nevada nonprofits meeting specific size criteria (under $1 million in annual revenue or less than 5 years old as a tax-exempt entity). The program, administered by Nevada’s Office of Federal Assistance, establishes a dedicated state fund that cannot be used for other purposes and carries forward any unused balance annually. Nonprofits must have 501(c)(3) status, and the Office must create application rules and submit biennial reports to the Legislature on program activity. This bill directly affects eligible nonprofits and the Office of Federal Assistance, adding a new grant mechanism without requiring new state funding.
