Nevada facilities face new product-use limits

Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada limits certain product uses for residents of covered care, treatment, training, and prison facilities. The law covers government entities and qualifying government-funded operators, managers, and contractors serving these facilities. Funded entities qualify when government sources supplied at least 50% of their operating budget in the previous calendar year. Covered products have or once had a U.S. patent and have approval pending or granted by the FDA or USDA. Entities cannot use these products against supplier terms, written product directions, or federally approved uses unless an exception applies. One exception requires written notice to the patent holder and, when applicable, the manufacturer or distributor, describing the product and planned use. The entity may proceed after at least 30 days without an objection. A written objection requires an immediate stop until every objector withdraws in writing. A resident’s informed consent also allows the entity to provide or dispense the product for that resident’s particular use without notice. The law does not require actions that violate federal funding conditions.
