Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Delivery customers choose utensils and condiments
Beginning January 1, 2026, food delivery platforms must let customers request disposable accessories and standard condiments with online orders. Restaurants with written platform agreements may include these items only when requested. They cannot bundle items in ways that prevent customers from getting only what they requested. Accessories include single-use utensils and straws, but not food containers, cups, or lids. Knowing violations count as deceptive trade practices; the law does not require or waive a fee for these extras.
Hair products get new safety testing
Beginning July 1, 2025, the State Board of Cosmetology must randomly sample and test products at qualifying hair-product stores. This applies in Nevada counties with at least 700,000 residents, currently Clark County. Stores qualify when at least 90% of their business comes from hair products, braid hair, weaves, or extensions. Testing checks hair products for formaldehyde and braid hair, weaves, and extensions for known cancer-causing substances. The law provides $75,000 to UNR's Nevada Center for Applied Research to develop a packaged synthetic-braid formaldehyde test and buy needed equipment and warranties. Funds cannot be committed after June 30, 2027; spending must end and leftovers return by September 17, 2027. The Board may arrange testing with higher education and must report results to lawmakers if that agreement is signed by December 31, 2026.
Safer food surfaces for Nevada diners
Beginning July 1, 2027, Nevada food establishments must keep food-contact surfaces, including cutting boards, in good repair. Surfaces must be free of excessive wear that makes cleaning harder or can trap bacteria. Health authorities must visually check surface condition and cleanliness during routine inspections, following applicable protocols and FDA Food Code recommendations. They may adopt additional inspection rules. Before July 1, 2027, authorities whose existing rules already cover these checks face no added inspection or enforcement requirements.
Heat protection added to emergency plans
Beginning October 1, 2025, Nevada's state emergency plans and specified state and local emergency-operation plans must address severe heat. These plans must cover heat faced by people affected by emergencies or disasters. The Division of Emergency Management must seek heat-reduction grants when applying is appropriate and applicable. This duty covers heat-island effects that threaten residents' health and safety and may cause or worsen emergencies or disasters. The law does not guarantee grant awards or household payments.
More shade funding for Nevada neighborhoods
Beginning October 1, 2025, covered redevelopment agencies must set aside 1% of allocated redevelopment revenue for neighborhood shade and heat reduction. Existing bond obligations take priority over this funding. Agencies must partner with the Southern Nevada Water Authority, Desert Research Institute, and University of Nevada, Reno Cooperative Extension. They must hire an arborist or Cooperative Extension to identify drought-tolerant shade trees and buy seedlings. Agencies must distribute the money to partners through ongoing grants by September 30, 2028, when these requirements expire.
