Nevada Laws Beginning in 2025
As a new year arrives, that also means new laws. It’s always a good idea to be aware of new laws going into effect on January 1, because these laws could impact you. You also never want to be surprised by new laws, too. So, let’s get into some new Nevada laws going into effect in 2025, so you know what to expect.
New Nevada Laws Starting in 2025
Diapers
Following getting the go-ahead from the Nevada Legislature and voters, adult and baby diapers will be exempted from sales tax through 2050. This is for disposable diapers only.
Paid Family Caregiving for Those With Dementia
A new law will allow a family member to be a paid caregiver for elderly or disabled Medicaid recipients who have been diagnosed with dementia.
Drones
A new law prohibits government and law enforcement agencies from buying and utilizing drones that are banned by the federal government. The law also states that when drones are used to check compliance with building or fire codes, any images from that aren’t allowed to be used in judicial cases and “may not be used to establish reasonable suspicion or probable cause as the basis for the investigation or prosecution of a crime or other offense.”
Motorcycle Safety
A new law allows a person to go through a motorcycle safety course instead of having to pay a fine if they are caught riding without having taken that course, so long as the course is finished within nine months.
More Laws
Other new laws will require paying at least minimum wage to workers with disabilities, starting now and in special cases in 2028. Also, a pilot program that allowed a free 15-minute call a day to a family member from inmates at the Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center will end on January 1.
There just some of the new laws and language changing in the Nevada Constitution starting in 2025, too. While you’re getting in that last bit of Christmas cheer, listening to Christmas songs and thinking of New Year’s Eve things to do, think about these new laws that will go into effect in 2025. Also, it’s worth noting that for state laws, each state has different methods for approving laws. One commonality, though, is that many states have their new laws go into effect on January 1 of a new year. Some state and federal laws also go into effect on July 1, because that makes the halfway point between the year.
