Enacted laws
AB 406 (2025): Mental health care and school counseling
AB 406 was approved on June 5, 2025. Its substantive provisions took effect July 1, 2025; authority for regulations and preparatory administrative work began upon approval. Its school and health-care provisions are parts of the same enactment.[1]
AI providers. NRS 433.567 prohibits providers from offering Nevada users systems specifically programmed to deliver services that would constitute professional mental or behavioral health care if supplied by a person. It also restricts representations that a system can provide such care or is a therapist or similar professional. Violations of the specified prohibitions can attract civil penalties of up to $15,000 per violation. The statute preserves self-help products that do not claim to provide professional care and qualifying administrative-support systems.[4]
Health-care practitioners. NRS 629.610 restricts AI use in direct professional mental and behavioral health care, subject to administrative-support exceptions and the applicable Department of Education policy. Permitted support includes scheduling, records, billing and session-note management. Practitioners must comply with privacy and data-security laws and independently check AI-generated billing and session-record information. Violations constitute unprofessional conduct subject to disciplinary action.[5]
Public schools. NRS 391.297 prohibits using AI to perform school counselors’, psychologists’ or social workers’ duties relating to pupils’ mental health. It requires the Department of Education to develop an AI-use policy for relevant services, including a way to examine accuracy and efficacy. Staff may use AI in accordance with that policy or for administrative support.[6]
AB 73 (2025): Synthetic media in election communications
AB 73 was approved June 3, 2025 and took effect January 1, 2026.[2] Its disclosure requirement is codified at NRS 294A.3493. Covered communications include candidate or party advocacy, election-influencing political or social issue communications, and specified contribution solicitations containing synthetic media. The required notice states that the image, video or audio has been manipulated. Video disclosures must remain visible throughout; audio disclosures must appear at the beginning and end and, for longer recordings, at intervals of no more than two minutes.[7]
A candidate depicted in a noncompliant communication may seek an injunction or other equitable relief. The statute includes liability protections for specified intermediaries and broadcasters and for synthetic media published as entertainment satire or parody.[7]
AB 325 (2025): Emergency planning and utility decisions
AB 325 was approved May 30, 2025. It became effective October 1, 2025 under Nevada’s default effective-date rule, because the act specifies no different commencement date.[3][8]
NRS 414.099 requires covered state and local emergency plans to ensure that a person makes final decisions about emergency-response planning and resource allocation.[9] The act also prohibits public utilities from basing a final decision to reduce or shut down service during a disaster or emergency solely on AI.[3]
Historical measures
SB 199 (2025): AI registration and oversight proposal — not enacted
SB 199 proposed registration and regulation of AI companies by the Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, alongside sector-specific restrictions and an education working group. These were proposed requirements.[10] The bill was referred to Senate Finance after amendment in April. Its final official history entry, June 3, 2025, records “No further action taken.” It did not become law.[11]
