IMPORTANT MESSAGE
During the 83rd Legislative Session (2025) Senate Bill (SB) 466 transferred the authority to regulate and permit food establishments from the Division of Public and Behavioral Health to the Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA). The bill was signed by the Governor on June 10, 2025, and became effective on July 1, 2025. A separate bill SB 494 created the Nevada Health Authority (NHA). These bills reorganized the Environmental Health Section into two separate programs. The NDA is responsible for all the food programs regulated in NRS and NAC 446, 583, 585 and 445A. The NHA will provide support for all non-food programs regulated under NRS/NAC 444, 585 and 447.
