In one paragraph

Nevada's AB 325 requires the state emergency management plan and each emergency operations plan adopted by a state or local governmental agency to include provisions ensuring that final decisions on emergency response planning and on allocating resources in an emergency are made by a natural person, not by artificial intelligence. A public utility may not make a final decision on whether to reduce or shut down utility service in response to a disaster or emergency based solely on AI. Approved May 30, 2025 (Chapter 123); effective October 1, 2025.

What it means for business

Public utilities in Nevada may not decide to reduce or shut off service in a disaster or emergency based solely on AI. State and local agencies' emergency plans must keep final response and resource decisions with a person.

Key provisions

  1. AI (NRS chapter 414): a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments (sec. 2)
  2. Any state emergency management plan prepared under NRS 414.060 and each plan for emergency operations under NRS 414.040(4)(b)(2) adopted by a state or local governmental agency must include provisions ensuring that final decisions on emergency response planning and resource allocation are made by a natural person, not by AI (sec. 3)
  3. New section in NRS chapter 704: a public utility shall not make a final decision on whether to reduce or shut down utility service in response to a disaster or emergency based solely on the use of AI; 'disaster' and 'emergency' have their NRS 414.0335 and 414.0345 meanings (sec. 5)
  4. Approved by the Governor May 30, 2025 (Chapter 123); effective October 1, 2025
