In force since 1 July 2025.
An AI sector rules rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 6 September 2026.
What it requires
- If you are a Nevada-licensed provider of mental and behavioral health care, do not use an artificial intelligence system in connection with providing professional mental and behavioral health care directly to a patient.
- You may use an artificial intelligence system only for administrative support tasks such as scheduling, records management, billing, operational data analysis, and organizing session notes.
- Where you use AI for administrative support, ensure the use complies with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), HITECH, and Nevada's own health-information privacy statutes (NRS 439.581 to 439.597).
- Independently review the accuracy of any report, data or other information an AI system compiles, summarizes, analyzes or generates for those administrative purposes.
- A violation is treated as unprofessional conduct, subject to disciplinary action by your licensing board rather than a civil fine.

Subsection 4 requires the provider to independently review the accuracy of any report, data, or other information an artificial intelligence system compiles, summarizes, analyzes, or generates for billing or for organizing session notes. The clause never uses the words logs, records, event recording, or audit trail, but a licensing board enforcing subsection 5's disciplinary consequence for a violation of this section could not tell whether the review happened without something documenting it.

What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A Nevada-licensed provider of mental and behavioral health care (psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed social workers, psychiatric nurses, marriage and family therapists, and certain counselors) may not use an artificial intelligence system in connection with providing professional mental and behavioral health care directly to a patient, except that the provider may use AI for administrative support such as scheduling, records management, billing, operational data analysis, and organizing session notes, subject to compliance with federal and Nevada health-privacy law and to the provider's own independent review of any AI-generated report or data.
A provider who violates this section is guilty of unprofessional conduct and subject to disciplinary action by the licensing board, agency or other entity that licenses or certifies the provider.
