Voted for Senate Bill 128, which would have limited how health insurers use computer systems to refuse to pay for care. The version the Assembly voted barred an insurer from relying on artificial intelligence alone to deny, cut back or end approved care, so the software could still be part of a denial. Insurers would also have had 20 days to answer a request, and Medicaid managed care plans were exempt. The Nevada Assembly passed it 23-16, but the governor vetoed the bill, so it never became law.

Boards that license health workers, ambulance attendants and emergency medical technicians must set up that process. It applies to a person seeking a first license who shows they will work mainly in a community that has long gone underserved. A letter from an employer in such a community, naming the job and its start date, counts as proof. The bill only reorders the queue. It sets no deadline, waives no qualification, cuts no fee, and does not require the person to stay. The Nevada Assembly passed it 29-13, and the bill was signed into law.

Counties with 100,000 or more people must now include a heat plan in it. The plan must cover access to public cooling spaces, public drinking water, cooler building methods and shade over paved areas. Shade can include shade structures and street trees, with a preference for native or drought-tolerant kinds. The bill requires the plan to be written. It does not require any county to build a cooling center, install a drinking fountain or plant a tree. The rule starts in July 2026. The Nevada Assembly passed an earlier version 29-13.

The officer must hand over a receipt describing the firearm and a written notice saying how to get it back. When the person is released the agency must make the gun available for return. It may keep the gun only if an officer has applied for a high-risk protection order, or the person is already barred from owning one. Before this bill Nevada's crisis-hold law had no rule for taking guns or giving them back. The Nevada Assembly passed it 27-15, and the bill was signed into law.

Voted for Assembly Bill 245, which would have barred people under 21 from having a semiautomatic shotgun or a semiautomatic centerfire rifle, and made selling one to them a felony. People aged 18 to 20 could still use these guns at a shooting range, in an organized competition, and while hunting or trapping. Military members and police officers were exempt. The Nevada Assembly passed it 27-15, but the governor vetoed the bill, so it never became law.

Judges, police officers and prosecutors could already ask a court to seal their personal details held by county recorders, assessors and election clerks. The bill adds health workers who practice reproductive health care, staff and volunteers at clinics that provide it, and providers of gender-affirming care. A spouse, domestic partner or minor child may ask too. Sealing still takes a sworn statement and a court order. The bill also lets these people show a different address on a driver's license, which needs only proof to the DMV and no court order.
