Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

AI cannot pose as therapists

AI makers cannot claim their system gives professional mental or behavioral health care, or program it to do so. People cannot call themselves therapists or counselors without a Nevada credential. The health division can investigate and seek civil penalties up to $15,000 per violation. The division also shares information on licensed care and free or low-cost crisis help. Self-help advice is still allowed, and vendors may offer AI tools for providers’ admin tasks. These rules take effect July 1, 2025.

Schools cannot use AI as counselors

Nevada public schools cannot use AI to do a school counselor’s, psychologist’s, or social worker’s mental-health duties. The Department of Education sets a policy for any AI used with students. Staff may use AI for scheduling, records, and data tasks if the policy is followed. These rules take effect July 1, 2025.

Limits on AI in mental health care

Licensed mental and behavioral health providers cannot use AI to deliver care to patients. They can use AI for admin tasks like scheduling, billing, records, and organizing session notes. Providers must follow HIPAA, HITECH, and Nevada privacy laws. They must review any AI-generated notes or billing data for accuracy. Violations count as unprofessional conduct and can lead to discipline. These rules take effect July 1, 2025.
