Senator Buck said AB259 would threaten the financial viability of pediatric infusion providers and shift costs to providers rather than addressing manufacturers or pharmacy benefit managers. \"I rise in opposition to assembly bill 2 59 because the long term viability of Nevada's primary provider of pediatric infusible therapies and the only stand alone center in the state dedicated to cancer, childhood cancer, and rare disease care, Cure for the Kids Foundation is directly at risk under a b 2 59,\" Buck said on the Senate floor.

The senator continued that, \"Once maximum fair pricing is extended to include infusible medications and Nevada is legally bound to reimburse providers based on those federally capped rates, these therapies will no longer be viable to deliver within our state.\" Buck argued the bill, \"creates a policy that benefits insurance companies, not patients,\" and said it provides \"no exemption for medically necessary and feasible drugs, no acquisition cost parity, and no consideration for the unique circumstances of childhood cancer and rare disease care.\"

Buck also raised concerns about conflict with federal Medicaid rules and about pushing care into hospital settings at greater taxpayer expense. \"As stewards of Nevada's healthcare system and a fiscal guardians of our state's long term health infrastructure, I urge you to take these concerns into consideration. AB 2 59 as currently written does not create true savings,\" Buck said, adding that it \"creates unsustainable care gaps especially for those most vulnerable children and families in our communities. I urge this body to reject a b 2 59 and vote no.\"

Following the debate, the roll call recorded 13 yeses and 8 noes; the clerk declared AB259 passed and ordered to the Assembly.

The discussion in the Senate record documents concerns from at least one member that the bill's mechanics—particularly application of maximum fair pricing to infusible medications—could affect providers' ability to deliver high-cost therapies. The Senate record does not show enacted language changes on the floor; the final action recorded was passage and transmission to the Assembly.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","6/2/2025 - Senate Floor Session, Pt. 3","oneSentenceSummary","The Nevada Senate voted to pass Assembly Bill 259, a measure described as governing prescription drugs, after floor debate that included warnings the bill could jeopardize pediatric infusion providers.","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},6219243,"Senator objects to AB320 as overreach into courts; bill passes Senate",78,3149000,3227000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3623321-d5abdcd9cd7d569c89da3e8b53af967e&start=3149&end=3227","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3623321-d5abdcd9cd7d569c89da3e8b53af967e/thumbnail_3149000.jpg","/articles/6219243/Nevada/Senator-objects-to-AB320-as-overreach-into-courts-bill-passes-Senate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6219243-aec508b7f7442e9323e7a52162f9278e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144810&Signature=iokA7w4DfN5U-FzO72JoewsiNTDeIljOLqM1valhdj3E-P8GT-iwVRb6aADMTrLSH0TGcjJtOEo0mdXGZ7c-dVVQ~fUx5JI~eq6U75MERVSSqlY~H43pHBQipJmEFVARK21dxQQ4bRVu4ZPprEvvzbLbx8A9ulqdZluti1S89PNRBWqqytPn3X~dwDf2Qb9xCf6QJ8jeNkGOLXs5cD0gS-gadHJUgoYhAHPsmmQ5CRSdi0h3Hri2esOH~PQ8vv~nQxPDaGtPvcIDUNpBdob9Dh6l57C~vFUG3Yz-FGQFStVPhEct3j~P0ZAaMgWY~vz-zxwGGVEHimE0ro6mCemHpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nevada Senate passed Assembly Bill 320, a measure described on the floor as revising provisions related to administration of justice, after debate that included a constitutional objection from Senator Hansen.

Senator Hansen said the bill risks encroaching on the judiciary's separate constitutional authority. On the floor Hansen argued that the Nevada Constitution limits the Legislature's ability to pass local or special laws that \"regulate the practice of courts of justice\" and said the proposal amounted to imposing rules on a separate branch. \"We have 3 separate but equal branches of government ... the legislature ... is allowed to do macro level, high level types of, oversight of these court system. However, in article 4 section 20, it's very clear. It says the legislature shall not pass local or special laws in any of the following cases. Regulating the practice of courts of justice is 1 of those. And what we're doing here is basically forcing a dress code on a separate branch of government,\" Hansen said.

Despite the objection, the Senate roll recorded 14 yeses and 7 noes and the clerk declared AB320 passed and ordered to the Assembly. The transcript records the constitutional objection but does not include further floor debate from the bill's sponsors in response or any on-the-record legal analysis.

The Senate record documents the substantive constitutional concern raised on the floor; subsequent steps (Assembly consideration, any judicial or legal review) are not part of the transcript.","Assembly Bill 320, relating to administration of justice, passed the Nevada Senate despite an objection that the measure may intrude on the separate-branch authority of the judiciary.

Senator Titus said she supports helping residents afford vehicle registration but objected to the bill's approach. On the floor she said a provision allowing \"a fee of up to 15% with amount financed, which must be disclosed as part of the APR under the Federal Truth in Lending Act,\" could be preempted by federal law and produce very high annual percentage rates for short-term loans. \"This fee ... could result in an APR as high as a 80% from 1 month loan, which is wildly excessive,\" Titus said, adding that she urged rejection of AB296.

Titus framed her opposition on legal and policy grounds: conflict with the federal Truth in Lending Act and the risk that the government would be facilitating high-interest lending rather than addressing affordability through other means. The Senate nevertheless recorded a roll of 13 yeses and 8 noes and declared AB296 passed and ordered to the Assembly.

The transcript does not include specific amended text or fiscal estimates on the floor; it records legal concerns raised by a senator with reference to the Truth in Lending Act and potential APR outcomes, and it records final passage to the Assembly.","Assembly Bill 296, addressing motor vehicle provisions and installing a DMV-related installment loan mechanism, passed the Senate after debate.

Senator Dondero Loop presented and moved adoption of the Senate Committee on Finance amendment number 9 82; the amendment was adopted on voice vote and the bill was made ready for final consideration. The Senate later took a final roll call; the clerk recorded 13 yeses and 8 noes and declared AB282 passed and ordered to the Assembly.

Senator Titus rose in opposition and focused on oversight placement. \"This revises provisions related to billing for health care ... I rise in strong opposition to senate bridal 2 82. Assembly bill 2 82 addresses overpayment, by providers, and I certainly support and and appreciate the concept that absolutely if a patient has overpaid, they should be in reverse. However, this bill jeopardizes physicians by placing oversight in the board of medical examiners,\" Titus said on the floor.

Titus warned that tying billing errors to the Board of Medical Examiners could subject physicians to licensing investigations even for small errors and that such investigations would carry reporting consequences with credentialing entities. \"We are talking about overpayment refunds, not no matter how small, we will be in will be in event a physician must disclose an investigation by the board will start. I've sat on the medical board and I can tell you, we do investigate any complaint. Please do not support this bill as well intentioned as it is,\" Titus said.

The Senate record shows the bill cleared the chamber despite the objections recorded by Titus; the transcript does not include amended text beyond the adoption of the committee amendment nor further procedural changes. The clerk recorded the roll as 13 yes, 8 no; AB282 was declared passed and ordered to the Assembly.

The transcript records the nature of the objection (placement of oversight jurisdiction) but does not include responses from the Board of Medical Examiners or additional legal analysis on the floor.","Assembly Bill 282, revising provisions related to billing for health care, passed the Senate after floor amendments. Senator Titus opposed, arguing placement of oversight with the state Board of Medical Examiners could jeopardize physicians by tying billing errors to licensing investigations.","actionData","errors"]
