The Assembly Committee on Health and Human Services convened on May 9, 2025, to discuss and vote on four significant bills aimed at improving health services and regulations in Nevada. The meeting, which was accessible online, began with a reminder for public comments to be taken at the end, allowing each participant two minutes to speak.

The first bill addressed was Senate Bill 8, which revises terminology related to services provided by the Aging and Disability Services Division of the Department of Health and Human Services. This bill, sponsored by the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, passed unanimously without any amendments.

Next, Senate Bill 9 was introduced, which aligns state Medicaid provisions with federal law. It mandates that health insurers respond to state inquiries regarding payment claims within 60 days. This bill also passed unanimously, reflecting a commitment to timely responses in healthcare services.

Senate Bill 24 followed, focusing on the certification and regulation of emergency medical responders. This legislation prescribes specific duties and authorities for these responders and was also approved unanimously, indicating strong support for enhancing emergency medical services.

Finally, Senate Bill 84 was discussed, which revises provisions related to domestic violence. It requires that treatment programs for individuals who commit domestic violence utilize evidence-based curricula and materials. This bill, too, received unanimous approval from the committee.

The swift passage of all four bills highlights the committee's dedication to improving health and safety standards in Nevada. The next steps will involve presenting these bills for further consideration in the legislative process.
