Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Breastfeeding protected in public and online

Beginning July 1, 2025, you cannot be denied full and equal service at a public place because you are breastfeeding. Places also cannot post messages saying breastfeeding people are unwelcome. Online-only businesses that serve the public in Nevada count as public places. You can file with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission or sue for actual damages, court orders, and reasonable attorney’s fees. Counties and cities may pass matching rules, but not broader or harsher ones. Private clubs and small private online forums are not covered. A place may still enforce valid laws that keep minors out of its premises or certain areas.

Medicaid breastfeeding info and support

Beginning October 1, 2025, the Health Department posts a fact sheet on Medicaid coverage for breastfeeding supplies, counseling, and lactation help. It updates the fact sheet each year. The Department also lists local lactation support services with names, addresses, and phone numbers. Materials are in English, Spanish, Tagalog, and other languages the Department selects. Doctors, PAs, nurse practitioners, midwives, hospitals, and birthing centers can give these materials to patients. They may share them with others only with the patient’s consent or direction.
