Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
This bill enacts various provisions relating to “artificial intelligence systems,” 1
which section 4 of this bill defines to mean any machine-based system that, for any 2
explicit or implicit objective, infers from the inputs such system receives how to 3
generate outputs, including, without limitation, content, decisions, predictions or 4
recommendations, that can influence physical or virtual environments. 5
Sections 6-12 of this bill provide for the registration and regulation of 6
“artificial intelligence companies,” which section 3 of this bill defines to mean, in 7
general, a person who develops an artificial intelligence system and either sells the 8
– 2 –
- *SB199*
system to another person or enters into a contractual arrangement with another 9
person to allow customers of the person to use the artificial intelligence system. 10
Section 6 requires an artificial intelligence company to be registered with the 11
Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Office of the Attorney General. Sections 6-8 12
set forth various requirements for the issuance and renewal of such a registration. 13
Section 9 requires an artificial intelligence company to develop, implement and 14
maintain certain policies, procedures and protocols. Section 10 requires an artificial 15
intelligence company to conduct a semiannual self-assessment and submit the 16
results of the self-assessment to the Bureau. Section 11 authorizes the Bureau to 17
impose certain penalties for violations of the provisions of sections 6-10. Section 18
12 authorizes the Bureau to adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of sections 19
6-11. 20
Section 13 of this bill requires a person who sells computer software that is 21
capable of generating legal documents through the use of an artificial intelligence 22
system to ensure that each such document generated is reviewed by a licensed 23
attorney before the document is provided to a customer in this State. 24
Section 14 of this bill requires the operator of a search website that provides 25
users both a method to conduct a search that uses an artificial intelligence system 26
and a method that does not use an artificial intelligence system to: (1) require a user 27
to opt in to use the method that uses an artificial intelligence system; and (2) allow 28
a user that does not opt in to continue to use the method that does not use an 29
artificial intelligence system so long as the operator offers the method. 30
Section 15 of this bill prohibits a person who is paid money for a service on the 31
condition that the service be provided by a natural person from providing the 32
service through an image of a natural person generated by an artificial intelligence 33
system. 34
Section 16 of this bill requires the Department of Employment, Training and 35
Rehabilitation to collect information concerning the number and type of jobs that 36
have been lost in this State because of the use of artificial intelligence systems and 37
submit an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature regarding the 38
information collected. 39
Section 17 of this bill requires a county recorder to develop, implement and 40
maintain policies, procedures and protocols to verify the identity of any person 41
filing a document and to protect against fraud committed in the filing of a 42
document through the use of an artificial intelligence system. 43
Section 18 of this bill prohibits a peace officer from using an artificial 44
intelligence system to generate an investigative or police report. 45
Section 19 of this bill prohibits, with certain exceptions, certain teachers from 46
using an artificial intelligence system to generate a class lesson plan. Section 26 of 47
this bill requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to establish the Working 48
Group on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems in Education to conduct an 49
assessment and develop certain policies and guidance relating to the use of artificial 50
intelligence systems during the 2025-2026 interim. 51
The Nevada Unfair Trade Practice Act sets forth various activities that 52
constitute an unlawful contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade and 53
authorizes the Attorney General to investigate and take certain actions against 54
persons who engage in such activities, which may include, without limitation, 55
criminal prosecution and the imposition of civil penalties. (Chapter 598A of NRS) 56
Section 20 of this bill includes among the activities that constitute an unlawful 57
contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade the establishment by a 58
landlord of a price for rent for a dwelling unit that is based upon a recommendation 59
provided by certain artificial intelligence systems that generate recommended 60
prices for rent using certain nonpublic information provided by multiple landlords. 61
Section 21 of this bill prohibits a financial institution from using any data 62
collected by the financial institution relating to the finances of a customer to train 63
– 3 –

an artificial intelligence system developed by the financial institution or providing 64
such data to an artificial intelligence company without providing certain notice and 65
obtaining the consent of the customer to whom such data relates. Section 24 of this 66
bill similarly prohibits an insurer from using any data collected by the insurer 67
relating to the health of an insured to train an artificial intelligence system 68
developed by the insurer without providing certain notice and obtaining the consent 69
of the customer to whom such data relates. 70
Existing law sets forth various practices that constitute an unfair or deceptive 71
trade practice in the business of insurance. (NRS 686A.010-686A.310) Section 25 72
of this bill requires an insurer to adopt practices designed to ensure that the use of 73
an artificial intelligence system by the insurer does not result in the commission of 74
an unfair or deceptive trade practice. Section 25 also requires an insurer to develop, 75
implement and maintain a plan for the responsible use of artificial intelligence 76
systems by the insurer and sets forth certain requirements for such a plan. 77
Section 22 of this bill applies the definitions set forth under the provisions of 78
existing law governing financial institutions to the provisions of section 21. 79
