Committee staff Kayla Maesa told the committee the bill “provides that a cemetery authority shall not disinter or remove certain human remains in all or any part of the cemetery owned, leased, or operated by the authority without a court order,” and that a court may issue an order only on a showing of clear and convincing evidence related to the circumstances described in the bill. The bill would also require a written record for each person whose remains are disinterred and removed.

Maesa told the committee an amendment had been added to account for Native burial grounds and rural cemeteries, allowing counties to designate older burial sites as historic consistent with NRS 381.195; that statute was cited during the discussion as the basis for historic designation of cemeteries open during the 1800s or 50 years before the current year. Maesa said the amendment was discussed with the Nevada Association of Counties (NACO) and approved by that organization.

Committee members thanked Maesa for raising rural concerns; the panel moved the amend-and-do-pass recommendation and the chair assigned the floor statement to Senator Titus. The motion carried with no recorded opposing votes at the mic.

If enacted, AB350 would raise the legal standard for removing remains from cemetery grounds, require written records for removals, and permit county‑level historic designation for older rural burial sites as noted in the amendment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5/16/2025 - Senate Committee on Health and Human Services","oneSentenceSummary","The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services advanced Assembly Bill 350, which would prohibit cemetery authorities from disinterring human remains without a court order supported by clear and convincing evidence.","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},6634199,"Committee advances AB282 requiring investigation when patients allege medical billing overpayments",90,744000,834000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100&start=744&end=834","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100/thumbnail_744000.jpg","/articles/6634199/Nevada/Committee-advances-AB282-requiring-investigation-when-patients-allege-medical-billing-overpayments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634199-e872a19401b33e0ddbe66bd69c4d1693/orig.mp4?Expires=1776095057&Signature=dJXbuWdTNQ4nWiTPfQZ35h4DcnGT2wG1NFrQPmQ4LCWCeS~XSpxWFHJMBAL2VfKPaVZOvKvuujdmRhWj~8fxaCKDVMwV3JAxvyq0CRd6iyqBnYrIK~z8-LNg1gGGvGljsrr080LurZZAOL~8oL4IBVT2cDhCT6ywdrVr6~pDHuQCOc88LKQMwH03A26v5VbkeN4PNtXnVh8VtSLqBE19g95Nswr9o1DSer~reU70uk3rzZjjV8gwsvvkA38P0HReEOTKYjmVQGq7XvmiM1xWZ1GUkubLKakDsqXKmfu23duyi4pAKkSHoDbONpk0IGQ-gr2ycQpb7aqXK9gdw9fyOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assembly Bill 282 drew committee approval after staff described amendments that reframe certain billing errors as alleged overpayments and expand the definition of entities that bill for services.

Destiny Cooper, presenting the bill, said the measure “requires a medical facility or health care provider that receives notice from a patient that a medical bill may contain 1 or more billing overpayments to investigate the alleged overpayment.” The draft amendment changes the term “error” to “overpayment” in the relevant section, Cooper said.

The amended language would also require that if the Office for Consumer Health Assistance (or a similarly described consumer office) contacts a medical provider about a disputed charge, the office must notify the facility or provider at the start and conclusion of any review. Cooper said that during an investigation, a medical facility or provider “shall not bill a patient for any care that is subject to the investigation, but may bill a patient for other care.”

Committee members discussed a post‑hearing change to the bill’s definitions. A staff clarification noted the Nevada State Medical Association contributed recommended language defining a “billing entity,” and that the amendment adopts that definition to include “a provider of health care, a provider group practice, or an employer of a provider of health care that receives payments for goods or services provided by a provider of health care,” per Cooper’s summary.

Senator Titus signaled tentative support during the committee’s discussion, saying she would vote aye out of committee but may reserve further questions on the floor. The committee moved to amend-and-do-pass; the chair announced the motion carried and assigned the floor statement to the chair.

If enacted as amended, the bill would require providers or billing entities to investigate alleged overpayments and pause billing for charges under active review, and it would standardize the term “billing entity” in statute.","The committee voted to amend and advance Assembly Bill 282, which would require medical facilities or health‑care providers to investigate alleged billing overpayments and to suspend billing for charges under review; the bill also clarifies the definition of a billing entity.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6634202,"Senate committee advances AB185 limiting HOA bans on small licensed child‑care businesses",111,544000,655000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100&start=544&end=655","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100/thumbnail_544000.jpg","/articles/6634202/Nevada/Senate-committee-advances-AB185-limiting-HOA-bans-on-small-licensed-childcare-businesses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634202-71bf0206a96135890ddb4bbd47053d04/orig.mp4?Expires=1776095057&Signature=AQwtFU1UuRbALHYBr41BF0hGrxQHzvip0Zg31Rti1Ccaz6aYOFXWyBbtJx-maJtI-6EBJSu302GmgOxNWarHYELpmJxeXXG4QFahIB3DSR-aabiw-hUFPtGX7pwZZ89yYHSBlCzaJGj4RkWxTMQSWrDkQeL8g29DyuJs-8TV8VCIkVJH2UIwrhMcHYPPq~kMgUnweRYNjV57CfHwfkZV6phUmoUD2k6PaH0DySnNNMOZYjbqVLkizlGC5yuV2nvSfPNm3Y9~40jE-7KBfXHHkE~MygljEYw4i8gu2dHNbRVVcYu0epgCBMSoqxWI4CO3teuGOhBNbjDnIq0nnRpvRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services advanced Assembly Bill 185 during a work session, endorsing amendments that would bar most homeowners associations from prohibiting a unit owner from operating a licensed child‑care facility that cares for between five and 12 children.

The bill, presented by committee staff member Destiny Cooper, would prohibit “with certain exceptions the executive board and governing documents of a unit owner’s association from prohibiting a unit owner from operating a licensed child care facility providing care for between 5 and 12 children,” Cooper said. An amendment negotiated with the bill sponsor adds clarifications and narrow limits on how associations may regulate such operations.

Under the amendment described in committee, associations may impose a numerical limit on the total number of licensed child‑care facilities in a common‑interest community but only as “no less than 1 or no less than 1 per every 200 units, whichever is greater,” Cooper said. The amendment also preserves an associations’ ability to adopt rules about use of common areas and parking and to require compliance with association rules.

The amendment removes provisions that would have allowed licensure of child‑care facilities in multifamily dwellings like apartments, condominiums or townhomes; the revised language excludes those settings, Cooper said. “Remove section 7 and 8 related to the licensure of childcare facilities in a multifamily dwelling, apartment, or condominium building,” she said.

Senator Sharon Titus voiced opposition to the measure. “My issue is the government coming in and mandating whatever the business is in a community… it’s just in my mind wrong,” Titus said, and recorded a vote of no when the committee moved the amendment to a vote. The chair announced the motion carried and assigned the floor statement to Senator Lane.

The committee treated the item as an amend-and-do-pass recommendation. The bill sponsor is Assembly Member Anderson; Cooper noted the amendment was proposed by the assembly sponsor and is reflected in the current draft. The committee did not take public testimony during the work session; a public comment period was held at the end of the meeting but no callers participated.

If enacted as amended, the bill would limit association prohibitions on small licensed child‑care businesses while retaining association authority to adopt operational rules and numerical limits tied to community size.

The committee assigned a floor statement and the bill will next be considered on the Senate floor.","The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services voted to amend and advance Assembly Bill 185, which would restrict homeowners associations from prohibiting a unit owner from operating a licensed child‑care facility serving 5–12 children, while allowing associations to set certain limits and conditions.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6634184,"Committee advances gutted AB461 to request guardianship commission recommendations on uniform act",183,1167000,1350000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100&start=1167&end=1350","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100/thumbnail_1167000.jpg","/articles/6634184/Nevada/Committee-advances-gutted-AB461-to-request-guardianship-commission-recommendations-on-uniform-act","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634184-8edaaedf9829e5927ce6ce7f161a1b5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776095057&Signature=bCuxhN57qRQszs97klHnr3UZ13FC60b-BnOzy7vE9ukMV~ITOJ16RJfmQMnF2K4mFddCyjFaVssJwmT-ByIyswJGHnKGGYlCC1ZPx~NkCrAnOwGj0bvOjVE6Ij6shIk98M-CW7VJ0jt3tYCVDEiACoB2f5myN2g42VvwLYk3jJyl3xgPGxhy7B3TWkeXYolE6R5IVxOit0BkbC0u3L3BBXC60TWpj3QLj2EEAbpPmN8ynjWuJ4AMYXFavabFTg5BSoXzCbbRR1CJawwzI10UvYgumVuSvqmT~ICMaCLig2SN4w1dzKlD5DHLvdybWoRBKhhKWKvfPstMZ0Pi7YG63g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assembly Bill 461 was amended in committee to remove most of its original sections and instead require the Guardianship Commission to submit recommendations to the Legislature on considerations for implementing a proposed uniform guardianship act.

Committee staff summarized the change: the amendment “removes all sections of the bill with the exception of section 60 and add[ed] language that requires the guardianship commission to submit recommendations to the joint interim standing on health and human services,” Destiny Cooper said. The recommendations were described as input to help the Legislature consider what implementing a uniform act would look like in Nevada, allowing the commission to draw from other states’ experience.

Senator Titus remained opposed on principle despite the bill’s reduction in scope, saying she would vote no in committee. Senator Stone also recorded a no with reservation on the floor. The chair announced two nays (Stone and Titus) but said the motion carried; the committee assigned a floor statement.

The committee treated the item as an amend-and-do-pass recommendation. Staff indicated the commission would use its regular public meetings to develop recommendations; staff did not anticipate the amendment would create a separate fiscal note because it asks for recommendations rather than a new program or study.

If enacted as amended, AB461 would direct the Guardianship Commission to prepare recommendations for the Legislature on possible implementation of a uniform guardianship act, to be considered by the joint interim standing committee on health and human services.","The committee approved an amended version of Assembly Bill 461 that strips most provisions except a new section directing the Guardianship Commission to submit recommendations to the joint interim standing committee on health and human services about implementing a proposed uniform act.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6634189,"Committee approves amended AB448 to fold vision plans into existing insurance provisions, effective Jan. 1, 2026",98,1033000,1131000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100&start=1033&end=1131","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3351224-559a8d41a7efe1c4e366e9cb352df100/thumbnail_1033000.jpg","/articles/6634189/Nevada/Committee-approves-amended-AB448-to-fold-vision-plans-into-existing-insurance-provisions-effective-Jan-1-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634189-ba2722d42c3a664a0601ba9512323649/orig.mp4?Expires=1776095057&Signature=HgMI33xGHDGWPSnWyPgcTVF5LEbyCE8AVBZDnq7NzG1JXuED6UKFvafPzOR2c5NpUhCM~SYV0fb~jX~2uzvYDiqqu9ZbAbzPXMuST9thsD0V5Kj05DL7hsVEc87ICNI~0xbzYPF1lMXP6wso-dm-8ZsBfUOtrsi-eGOJTbRmzHQFZ931rNRmpa39TZ43uYe0ntbcBSWVaLjPtqp-RZDoGGhGUu1tjE1PC5Oy4iKYhkGXYPD4Yw-NVUFFNwqCz~2iU~8LRpuM6zVW9YKEqPuOgSAY3WoogiKGPOGoxM2ftyZ9qhFv-aV~dx5jCg54r91JjrtZC4sycjSnbfUoSMCJkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assembly Bill 448 was advanced in amended form after committee staff described a consolidated redraft created by the legal division that moves existing language into a single section and clarifies which vision arrangements are covered.

Destiny Cooper summarized the consolidated amendment, saying it “adds current language into section 3 1.5” and lists the covered arrangements — including vision benefit plans, vision benefit discount plans, and contracts between a provider of vision insurance and a provider of vision care — that are subject to the chapter when delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed on or after January 1 (per Cooper’s summary of the draft). Cooper noted the draft deletes many sections and consolidates requirements into sections 2–34 inclusive.

Cooper told the committee the amendments also set the bill’s effective date: “Amend section 50 to read that the bill becomes effective on 01/01/2026,” she said.

Committee members had no substantive questions on the record and moved the amend‑and‑do‑pass recommendation. The chair thanked legal staff and policy analysts for consolidating changes on short notice; the motion carried and the chair said he would take the floor statement.
