Key Requirement
Nevada has not enacted a comprehensive AI law. Narrow AI statutes are in force: AB 406 restricts using AI to deliver mental or behavioral health care (civil penalties up to $15,000 per incident), and AB 271 requires disclosure of AI-generated 'synthetic media' in election and political advertising. Existing consumer-protection laws may also apply to AI-driven decisions.
The most comprehensive US state AI law. As amended by SB 26-189 (2026) it takes effect January 1, 2027 and centers on transparency/disclosure for consequential automated decisions (the original algorithmic-discrimination duty of care was repealed). Attorney General rulemaking is underway; no final rules have been published yet.
