Dr. Yeager said Nevada law contains older language that entitles the insured to reimbursement and that a statutory cleanup would ensure providers are not disadvantaged by outdated phrasing. He cited the Affordable Care Act’s anti-discrimination provision (section 2706(a)) and observed that chiropractic physicians are included among provider types listed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Adam Plain of the Nevada Division of Insurance testified neutral. Plain said the Division understands the intent of the cleanup and is not opposed. He noted the historical context: older \"indemnity\" plans reimbursed insureds directly, whereas modern network plans typically have providers submit claims and receive payment. Plain suggested the committee consider preserving language that protects out‑of‑network indemnity reimbursement so the bill does not unintentionally remove existing patient reimbursement options.

Senator Daley asked several questions about how assignment-of-benefits practices work in practice and whether consumers typically assign benefits to providers. Plain and Dr. Yeager agreed that assignment of benefits is the standard for most provider encounters, and Dr. Yeager asked to be included in drafting any additional language to ensure the statute covers both the insured (patient) and the provider.

The committee took neutral testimony from the Division of Insurance and legal staff discussed particular statutory cross-references. The committee did not take a recorded vote or other formal action during the hearing; proponents and staff said they would continue to craft language and consult with the Division to avoid unintended consequences.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4/25/2025 - Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor","oneSentenceSummary","Dr. Yeager told the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee that AB511 updates insurance statute language so reimbursements reflect current practice, including payments made directly to providers under assignment of benefits.","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},6573011,"Board of Accountancy seeks statute changes in AB510 to align Nevada with national exam and extend testing window",751,2164000,2915000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3124488-6d2120b02c08056ef93727e2fe2bff92&start=2164&end=2915","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3124488-6d2120b02c08056ef93727e2fe2bff92/thumbnail_2164000.jpg","/articles/6573011/Nevada/Board-of-Accountancy-seeks-statute-changes-in-AB510-to-align-Nevada-with-national-exam-and-extend-testing-window","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573011-a78b9f0e452e6e263cc11650a0a8aed4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770453057&Signature=OhOTzbpF7E7~7p79HGwGy1MRWJmbaX6tY~dY89aR-5S1EKeREh7Ulr0s1Ftr~sLu7YccGxv1Yb1KZrGAbNhdN8CUHD1MIgNa0UwErHs5U6Lj53Ch~MIiia0CGkqo9uaPCu~vywEZHde6IyVUmBaR3dJjoWou0sPRD~YYUC0uayCJev3nrD7XlaRhyMjs5mZh1sX6LK9-yFLiEnc77w4J~-oGr5k6TDN94NO27beR7tALBvzEIBYQJlHjzWCvfJYGoFkbYIPSFprRSZEFmzhQDGcotDwax0R-0zK7qA91yy4Ng4T9N21h8fzX-qZiAXWGYpvqPSrNdDMBQoSwShKjKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Michael Hillerby, representing the Nevada State Board of Accountancy, told the committee that AB510 moves technical licensure details into regulation and updates Nevada practice to match national accountancy standards.

Hillerby said the Uniform CPA Exam and experience requirements are increasingly standardized nationally. He described two principal changes in AB510: updating the time allowed to complete all sections of the CPA exam (from 18 months in current regulation to 30 months consistent with national practice) and removing statutory specificity about education and experience so those details can be set in regulation.

Hillerby told senators the $1,000 inspection/sign-off fee in regulation tied to an older experience-verification process would be eliminated because certified public accountants now sign off on applicants’ experience. He said any regulatory updates would follow the usual public hearing process and the Legislative Commission review.

Anna Durst, CEO of the Nevada Society of CPAs, testified in support and said the changes would remove barriers to licensure, align Nevada with the Uniform Accountancy Act, and help attract CPAs and businesses to the state.

Senators asked about the existing $1,000 fee and the rationale for moving from an 18- to a 30-month exam window. Hillerby and executive director Vicki Winfeld explained the change reflects national practice and that exam administration has moved to more continuous testing windows, making 30 months a more realistic timeframe for applicants to pass all four parts of the exam while completing experience requirements.

No formal vote was recorded during the hearing; the board said it would follow the regulation process to adopt detailed implementing rules.","AB510 would move detail from statute into regulation, extend the authorized window to pass the Uniform CPA Exam from 18 to 30 months, and remove an obsolete $1,000 fee tied to a prior sign-off process.

Carter said the bill “modernizes and streamlines regulations in regards to an industry” that provides roadside assistance, towing and lockout services.

Deborah Poland, general counsel for the National Auto and Travel Organization (NATO), told the committee that motor-club statutes have not been updated in decades and described services provided by member organizations. She said AB498 would remove an outdated requirement that a motor club list “the usual place of business in this state” on contracts or membership cards and would give the insurance commissioner discretion to license nonresident agents when the agent’s home state does not license such agents.

Matt Morris, counsel with Holland & Hart representing NATO, walked the committee through the bill’s text and said the intent “is to modernize a few provisions of Nevada’s motor club statute, NRS chapter 696A, which was first enacted in 1971.” He explained that some motor-club providers do not maintain a brick-and-mortar Nevada office and that requiring a Nevada street address leads to listing only a registered-agent address.

Deborah Poland and industry callers emphasized consumer benefits from broader access to motor-club services and said expanding licensing flexibility would allow more firms to operate in Nevada, which they said would also help local service providers (towers, locksmiths) receive more business.

Rick McCann of Snap Towing testified in support, as did callers from NATO and Cross Country Motor Club. Adam Plain with the Nevada Division of Insurance testified in neutral; he told the committee the Division is comfortable with removing the location-disclosure requirement and supported clarifying reciprocity so that agents from states that no longer license agents are not automatically barred from Nevada licensing. Plain also said the Division performs limited background checks and would continue to consider “trustworthiness” for agents.

Committee members asked why the \"trustworthy individual\" language remained in the statute and whether to substitute a clearer legal standard; Matt Morris said that wording is existing, antiquated language dating to 1971 and that section edits clarify that the licensee is an \"individual\" rather than a corporate \"person.\" Senator Lang suggested replacing vague “trustworthy” language with a defined standard; committee legal staff offered to work on any amendment.

No formal committee action or recorded vote was taken during the hearing. Sponsors and industry representatives said they will continue working with the Division of Insurance and legal counsel on any drafting or definitional changes.","AB498 would modernize Nevada’s motor-club statute (NRS chapter 696A), remove a physical-business-location disclosure requirement, and allow non-resident agents to be licensed in Nevada when their home state does not license agents.

The bill’s sponsor, Assemblymember Cynthia Moore, said AB258 is intended “to make sure Nevada is following the National Association of Realtors settlement agreement,” and to “protect consumers” and “enhance the integrity of our real estate market in Nevada.”

Brandon Roberts, president of Nevada Realtors, told the committee that one recommendation from the national settlement is that “all brokerage agreements must be in writing before performing any service including showing homes.” He said Nevada law currently allows oral agreements and AB258 would eliminate that option for residential brokerage work.

Roberts said the written agreement must describe services and the “associated cost to the consumer,” adding that written agreements offer “transparency” and help buyers and sellers understand the broker’s role. Assemblymember Moore noted that the bill applies to all licensees under chapter 645, not only members of the Realtors association.

Committee members asked whether oral agreements were common and when the national changes took effect. Roberts replied that historically “the majority of transactions in the past were done with oral agreements” and that the national settlement’s effective date was in August of the prior year. Assemblymember Moore said AB258 would take effect Oct. 1, 2025.

No callers or in-person members of the public testified in support, opposition or neutral at the time the committee took phone testimony. The committee closed the hearing on AB258 after taking no recorded committee action during the session.

The bill as presented would (1) require written brokerage agreements for residential transactions, (2) conform multiple statutory references so they no longer assume oral agreements, and (3) preserve the existing statutory requirement that commercial brokerage agreements remain governed under the separate commercial provisions of chapter 645.

Committee questions focused on consumer protections and on whether the statute should prescribe minimum required contract terms; supporters pointed the committee to existing duties and “minimum services” already defined in statute and said AB258 would enforce written disclosure rather than invent new substantive duties.

The committee moved on to the next agenda item without a recorded vote or formal action on AB258.","Assembly Bill 258 would require all residential brokerage agreements to be written, bringing Nevada law into alignment with the National Association of Realtors settlement and removing oral-agreement authorization from state law. Supporters say the change will improve consumer transparency; no formal committee action was recorded at the hearing.","actionData","errors"]
