Revises provisions relating to the State Quarantine Officer. (BDR 51-985)
Maddy summaryAB 171 allows Nevada's State Quarantine Officer to temporarily pause state egg sale rules during national supply chain disruptions (like animal diseases or natural disasters), affecting egg producers, retailers, and government purchasers. The law permits up to two 120-day suspensions per year, requires public notice before ending a suspension, and allows selling grade B eggs or enabling small farms to sell directly to retailers during emergencies. It specifically modifies existing cage-free egg regulations (NRS 583.211-583.251) to permit these temporary exceptions. The bill became law after passing both legislative chambers with no opposition.
