Mary Tran, deputy general counsel for Foley Family Wines and Spirits, told the committee the company operates Minden Mill Distilling in the historic mill buildings in Minden and that its grain-to-glass process is vertically integrated: “Our grains are grown 3 miles away and the water we use is from an aquifer fed by Sierra Nevada snow melt,” Tran said. She told the committee the facility has the capacity and systems to segregate and trace non-estate products.

Joseph O'Sullivan, master distiller at Minden Mill, described membership in the University of Kentucky's Estate Whiskey Alliance and said the distillery maintains separate labeling and rickhouse segregation for non-estate barrels. “The wall between estate and non estate products will be upheld,” O'Sullivan told the committee.

Attorney Leif Reid summarized the bill's two core changes: allow estate distillery tasting rooms the same retail privileges as wineries (when county retail licenses are obtained and product is purchased through wholesalers), and allow estate distilleries to receive neutral spirits in bulk for storage and bottling only if they are strictly segregated from estate products. The transcript indicates a section of the bill was deleted in full and that sponsors offered a proposed amendment to clarify operations.

John Sandy of Frey Ranch Distillery testified neutral, saying his business did not intend to use the model but suggesting that if the Legislature authorizes the practice it should apply equally to all distilleries, not only estate distilleries.

Committee members asked how third-party barrels and bottling would work operationally; O'Sullivan said third-party barrels could be brought in, blended or bottled as specified by the third party, and stored in segregated rickhouse space with separate labeling to preserve traceability.

No vote was taken at the hearing; sponsors said they would provide further clarifications and county retail licensing would still be required for tasting-room sales of non-estate product.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4/7/2025 - Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor","oneSentenceSummary","Foley Family Wines and Minden Mill told the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee that allowing estate distilleries to store and bottle third-party bulk spirits—segregated from estate products—would provide revenue and better use of existing facilities; counsel proposed amendments to preserve estate-product integrity.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature NV, Nevada","taxId",78440,"location","Nevada","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6612485,"Supporters tell Commerce and Labor bill would modernize Nevada lending rules, legal-aid urges application of Nevada law",1473,3767000,5240000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2891118-6eafd6d21f74bc745b8478e5b0b4a05f&start=3767&end=5240","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2891118-6eafd6d21f74bc745b8478e5b0b4a05f/thumbnail_3767000.jpg","/articles/6612485/Nevada/Supporters-tell-Commerce-and-Labor-bill-would-modernize-Nevada-lending-rules-legal-aid-urges-application-of-Nevada-law","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612485-484ebce72baa369caf92adfefb2cea4d/orig.mp4?Expires=1773584077&Signature=Brw4rvhwYObiQ86Ff4-RBCyG9XEmGFJSfIb6pBBk8tSvsOkc-rPz5gi2BV4fPn4pqHQOYYbM97i884qFiITOuIl59OAJLzDCr3mX5IEyXw-xFTAMbcr40bv7cSkVrPg53xfIbFYvKG6yHL5VHdM~ow2ID6GVsTtkyBO~ginSPBl1PQccHtuohsX5glvvTJfIcUnug23I3VWD-i1QKwxy5ZEkYveWK8MHLtw0LakFWA1IKDMXFOtcK39Ukpu3VERk6wPWEA44L-fumkiBMCyQJaLWasNBkdee6o7jWDJG6X9lts1coYcmteCkXD70kDOa4JC~5H7mB2JyDeWYSEQT-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carson City — Proponents of Senate Bill 437 told the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee that modernizing Nevada's installment-loan statutes to permit internet consumer lenders to apply for licensure without a physical office would expand access to credit while leaving state regulatory oversight in place.

Ben Kiekeffer of BRK Nevada, representing technology-based lenders, said the bill creates a definition for “internet consumer lender” and extends to those lenders an exemption from the state's current brick-and-mortar licensing requirement. He told the committee the change would not remove licensing or supervisory authority from the Nevada Division of Financial Institutions.

Gilberto Soria Mendoza, manager of government relations at Upstart, described Upstart's platform and underwriting approach and said the company helps community banks and credit unions find and serve customers. “By partnering with Upstart, lenders can approve more borrowers at lower rates while delivering the exceptional digital-first experience customers demand,” Mendoza said.

Mendoza and Kiekeffer said the bill would let online lending marketplaces and fintech partners apply for a Nevada license and operate subject to the Division of Financial Institutions' oversight. Kiekeffer noted FID had suggested including solicitation in the bill's definition and the sponsors said they would accommodate that input.

Peter Aldis, a staff attorney at Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, testified in support but emphasized that Nevada law should govern loans made to Nevada residents: “Nevada has several strong consumer protection laws and it's crucial that all lenders are required to follow those rules,” he said, supporting a bill provision that any loan issued by an internet consumer lender be governed by Nevada law to the extent federal law does not preempt state law.

Several committee members questioned company witnesses about the types of loans offered and consumer protections. Mendoza said Upstart's average loan is about $10,000 and that the company generally does not make short-term payday-style loans; he also said Upstart does not make loans above 36 percent APR as a company practice.

Committee members asked staff and sponsors to ensure that the bill's definitions and licensing language are aligned with existing chapters on installment loans. No opponents were recorded on the broadcast lines; several stakeholders including the Chamber of Progress and Legal Aid offered support during the hearing.

The hearing closed with the committee taking no immediate vote; sponsors said they would work with the Division of Financial Institutions on technical drafting.","SB 437 would allow internet consumer lenders to operate in Nevada without a brick-and-mortar office while remaining subject to Nevada licensing and oversight.

Senator Ellison, sponsor of the bill, said the measure responds to repeated complaints from rural Nevada: “When these systems go down, they don't even know they're down,” he told the committee. “The problem we're having … is the maintenance — maintain what you're selling.”

Patrick Ashton of the Legislative Counsel Bureau read the bill summary and the conceptual amendment. Under the bill as presented, an alarm company that installs a system and charges a monthly monitoring fee must act “as soon as possible” when notified of a defective or inoperable system, repair or replace defective components, or cancel the remaining contract without imposing cancellation penalties; a violation would be treated as a deceptive trade practice and subject to enforcement by the attorney general or a local district attorney as provided by law.

Committee members pressed the sponsor to quantify the phrase “as soon as possible.” Senator Lang said, “as soon as possible means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I would quantify that in a number of hours or in a certain period of time.” Ellison agreed to draft an amendment setting an objective timeframe, saying he expected to provide that language to the committee.

Trevor Parish, manager of government affairs for the Vegas Chamber, told the committee the Chamber had met with the bill sponsor and supported the conceptual amendment that would exempt Clark and Washoe counties from the bill's deceptive-trade-practice provision, noting the level of services available in those urban counties. With that amendment the Chamber said it would move to a neutral position.

Several senators recounted local examples in which alarm companies either did not dispatch service personnel in a timely fashion or failed to notify public safety agencies; Senator Rogich said the lack of timely response once prompted a homeowner to call 911. Senator Ellison and other members said the bill is intended to create accountability for monitoring and maintenance obligations sold to customers.

Chair Pezzino and committee members asked the sponsor to submit an amendment that replaces “as soon as possible” with a specific response window and to incorporate time frames used in comparable statutes (committee staff suggested reviewing prior home-warranty response language as a model). Senator Ellison said he would provide the amendment.

The committee took no vote on SB 311 at the hearing; the hearing record shows public testimony was limited and no callers registered on the broadcast lines. The sponsor said he would return with amendment language for committee consideration.","Senator Ellison introduced SB 311 to require alarm companies to repair or replace defective systems or allow customers to cancel without penalty.

Patrick Ashton, research analyst with the Legislative Counsel Bureau, summarized each bill for the committee before votes. The bills advanced were Senate Bill 49, Senate Bill 97, Senate Bill 268, Senate Bill 291, Senate Bill 316, Senate Bill 344, and Senate Bill 370.

SB 49, described by Ashton as clarifying and expanding several consumer-protection provisions (including remedies under chapter 598 of the Nevada Revised Statutes), was moved “amend, do pass” by Senator Scheibel and seconded by Senator Lang. The committee voted “aye” and assigned the floor statement to Senator Ellison.

SB 97 was pared down in amendment to retain a single provision that one of the five governor-appointed members of the exchange board be a member of a Nevada Indian tribe with expertise in tribal health care administration; the committee moved to amend and pass the bill and assigned the floor statement to Senator Lang.

SB 268 would require insurers to cover certain dental services provided by dental hygienists operating for nonprofits; the committee voted to amend and pass and assigned the floor statement to Senator Flores.

SB 291 was amended to require the DMV to adopt procedures allowing victims of identity theft to request a free change of driver’s license number; the committee moved it forward and assigned the floor statement to Senator Donate.

SB 316, revising regulation of pharmacy benefit managers and related reporting requirements, and SB 344, requiring coverage of noninvasive prenatal screening by insurers, both passed unanimously with floor statements assigned to Senators Wynne and Cannizzaro, respectively.

SB 370, revising Department of Business and Industry procedures for certificates of ownership for manufactured homes and creating an expedited process with a fee, also passed unanimously and was assigned to Senator Taylor for the floor statement.

Committee Chair Pezzino presided and members recorded their votes as “aye” on each measure. Patrick Ashton noted the bills’ prior hearings and summarized the conceptual amendments before each vote.

The unanimous votes were taken without extended floor discussion on any single bill; several committee members explicitly reserved the right to change their vote on the floor. The committee moved from the work session to scheduled bill hearings afterward.","The Nevada Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor voted unanimously to advance seven bills in a work session, assigning floor statements for each.
