Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Certificates, records, and inspections for egg sales

Farm owners must have a Department certificate and a confinement endorsement to sell or transport eggs in Nevada. The Department does not charge a fee for the endorsement. Businesses that handle eggs must get and keep a copy of the producer’s endorsed certificate and provide it on request. Relying in good faith on a producer’s certificate is a defense. The Department can visit during business hours and review records to check compliance. An emergency order can pause some of these requirements.

Emergency egg-rule pauses for farms and stores

The State Quarantine Officer can pause Nevada egg-sale rules during national supply problems like animal disease or disasters. Each pause can last up to 120 days, and no more than two pauses are allowed each year. During a pause, the Officer may allow Grade B egg sales, let small flocks sell to retailers, and limit government egg purchases. An order can also pause enforcement and penalties tied to the suspended rules. The Officer must give the public at least 14 days’ notice before ending a pause and can write rules for how these pauses work.
