Maddy summaryAB 431 requires primary ticket sellers (like venues or official ticket vendors) to disclose the full price - including all fees - before selling tickets, and prohibits them from restricting buyers to only one resale platform. It also bans holding tickets for delivery more than 24 hours after purchase and defines "reseller" to exclude people buying tickets for others. The bill directly affects ticket buyers (through clearer pricing), primary sellers (requiring transparency), and resellers (clarifying their scope). Violations are treated as deceptive trade practices, subject to existing enforcement by the Attorney General and civil penalties.

Maddy summaryAB 267 requires the Legislative Counsel Bureau Director to publish annual transparency reports by March 1 each year. It mandates detailed line-item budgets and ending balances for the Legislative Fund (a special fund for legislative operations), plus annual salary and overtime data for all Senate/Assembly staff (including the Secretary of the Senate and Chief Clerk) and Legislative Counsel Bureau employees. The bill directly affects legislative staff and the public by making budget and compensation details publicly accessible. It does not change spending authority but requires these disclosures to be published annually. This is a procedural transparency measure with no substantive policy changes.

Maddy summaryAB 181 provides legal immunity from civil lawsuits to individuals who return firearms to owners under specific "firearm hold agreements." These agreements require the person to: (1) take possession of a lawfully owned firearm at the owner's request, (2) hold it for an agreed period, and (3) return it per the agreement terms. The bill also exempts such transfers from mandatory background checks. It directly affects anyone participating in these agreements - both the person holding the firearm and the owner - and excludes immunity if unlawful conduct occurred during the transfer. The law applies to agreements formed after October 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryAB 138 requires Nevada's state education department to create age-appropriate curriculum standards for teaching students in kindergarten through 12th grade about recognizing and preventing sexual abuse, expanding existing personal safety education to explicitly include this topic. The bill mandates that school districts implement this instruction as part of required health classes, including specific elements like identifying abuse indicators, steps for victims to seek help, and available counseling resources. It also requires schools to develop training for staff, provide parent materials, and establish referral protocols for abuse incidents. This bill directly affects all public K-12 schools in Nevada and their students, with the state education department responsible for annual review of the standards.

Maddy summaryAB 438 transfers oversight of private nonemergency medical transportation providers from Nevada's Transportation Authority to local health authorities. Private providers will now require permits from either Clark County's district health board or the Division of Public and Behavioral Health in other counties (capped at $200), replacing the previous Transportation Authority permit system. The bill preserves existing requirements for providers to report abuse or neglect of vulnerable individuals and maintains exemptions for government-run transportation services. It also clarifies that permits do not override local franchising rules and updates regulatory language to reflect the new authority structure.

Maddy summaryAB 260 requires abortion service providers in Nevada to compile and provide patients with a list of local post-abortion counseling and support services, including both secular and faith-based options. Providers must display this list prominently at their facilities and ensure patients receive it before or after an abortion without needing to request it. The Division of Public and Behavioral Health will enforce these requirements, issuing written warnings for first violations and imposing civil penalties up to $1,000 for repeated failures. This bill directly affects abortion clinics and medical facilities performing abortions, mandating specific patient information sharing to connect individuals with post-abortion resources.

Maddy summaryAB 146 expands Nevada's legal recognition of parental rights by adding "nurture, education, and control" to the existing fundamental right parents have over their children's care, custody, and management. It specifically prohibits limiting these rights due to a parent's disability, defined as a physical or mental impairment substantially limiting major life activities. The bill maintains existing restrictions, stating parents cannot use these rights to engage in unlawful conduct, abuse, or neglect children. This change applies to all state laws, local ordinances, and regulations regarding parental rights, regardless of when they were enacted.

Maddy summaryAB 240 requires public and private schools (including colleges) to designate athletic teams based on biological sex at birth as male-only, female-only, or co-ed, and prohibits enrolling students of the opposite sex in single-gender teams. It states that following this rule does not constitute sex or gender identity discrimination under state law and protects schools from adverse actions by athletic associations for enforcing it. The bill also allows students to sue schools or athletic organizations for violations or retaliation when reporting them, and permits schools to sue entities that penalize them for compliance. These provisions apply to both K-12 schools and higher education institutions.

Maddy summaryAB 443 revises Nevada local government authority over housing and zoning. It removes "planning, zoning, development, and redevelopment" from cities and counties' definition of "matter of local concern," limiting their regulatory power. The bill prohibits rent control and mandates that cities/counties must allow multi-family housing in commercial zones, single-staircase apartments up to five stories, accessory dwelling units, and eliminate restrictions like minimum parking, lot size, or height limits. It also requires expedited approval for residential projects meeting zoning codes and voids conflicting local ordinances after October 2025. The law directly affects all Nevada incorporated cities and counties, particularly those with populations over 100,000.

Maddy summaryAB 469 updates Nevada's workers' compensation system, primarily affecting self-insured employers, insurance associations, and insurers. It removes a rule preventing administrators from having financial ties, ends annual fees for accounts covering costs of subsequent injuries (with claims only allowed for injuries before September 30, 2025), and eliminates a $36,000 annual pay cap used to calculate insurance premiums. The bill also revises requirements for insurers to maintain lists of available doctors for injured workers. These changes adjust administrative rules and financial obligations within Nevada's industrial insurance framework.
