Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Privacy rules for pilot participants

Starting Oct 1, 2025, pilot notifications and reports may not include information that could identify any research subject. This protects participant privacy in all filings. This rule stays in force until Sept 30, 2027.

More flexibility for pilot teams

Starting Oct 1, 2025, teams working on the same pilot may file one combined notice or report. Teams may partner with Nevada colleges for training, data collection, or ethics review. They may accept gifts, grants, and donations to support the pilot. The Legislative Counsel Bureau only receives these filings and does not review or act on them. These flexibilities last until Sept 30, 2027.

New reporting rules for brain treatment pilots

Beginning Oct 1, 2025, practitioners and entities must notify the Legislative Counsel Bureau before any pilot research starts. The notice must include your name; the purpose and scope; whether you use transcranial magnetic stimulation or electromagnetic brain pulse treatment; expected subject count and traits; locations; and proof of all needed licenses and approvals. While research runs, you must file a report at least each calendar quarter with subject counts, grouped demographics, baseline health and mental health checks, treatment results with follow‑up, and safety or ethics monitoring. After the pilot ends, you must send a final report on results and recommendations. You may not start the pilot unless you follow these rules. The law also defines these treatments and what counts as a pilot program. These rules remain in effect until Sept 30, 2027.
