Nevada has been among the most active states on AI legislation in 2026. The state also passed SB 1700, the Curbing Harmful AI Technology (CHAT) Act, which regulates conversational AI chatbot safety, on April 21, 2026.<ref name="transparency" /><br />
<br />
Nevada SB 5 follows a broader national trend of states creating dedicated AI policy offices; similar bills have been introduced in New Mexico (SB 5) and Connecticut (SB 5), both also advancing through Senate chambers in April 2026.<br />
