Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Exclusive-spirit certificate and higher export cap

Starting October 1, 2025, craft distillery operators can get a permissible person's certificate if they hold an exclusive manufacturing contract signed before January 1, 2025. The certificate lets them import neutral or distilled spirits to make that exclusive spirit. With the certificate, they may also make up to 40,000 extra cases a year of that exclusive spirit for export, on top of the existing 40,000-case export allowance.

New DUI reduction program and fund

Beginning October 1, 2025, Public Safety runs the Ignition Interlock and DUI Reduction Program. A special Account in the State Highway Fund holds money from fees and the new alcohol-sale surcharge. Money pays for enforcement, testing, audits, treatment help, education and training, data systems, and outreach. Interest stays in the Account and balances carry forward.

New fees for ignition interlock vendors

Starting October 1, 2025, Public Safety sets fees for makers and sellers of ignition interlock devices. Fees cover certification, yearly recertification, reinstatement, installations, and repeat violations. Vendors must pay these fees to operate under Nevada rules.

Restaurant alcohol to-go with small fee

Beginning October 1, 2025, counties and cities can let certain restaurants sell sealed alcoholic drinks to-go and deliver them in Nevada. Only covered food establishments may use this, and deliveries must follow local rules. The Department of Taxation adds a surcharge of up to $0.50 per qualifying sale. The Department may keep up to $250,000 a year for costs; the rest funds the Ignition Interlock and DUI Reduction Program.
