Bill > SB166

This bill makes two key changes related to housing and insurance in Nevada. First, it expands protections for dog owners by modifying insurance regulations, removing language that allows insurers to discriminate against specific dog breeds as the "sole basis" for refusing, cancelling, or increasing insurance rates. The bill now explicitly includes multi-family residential dwelling insurance policies and clarifies that insurers can only adjust policies based on a dog being officially declared dangerous or vicious. Second, the bill amends the supportive housing grant program to require that recipients of supportive housing grants allow tenants to keep at least one pet, subject to standard public health, animal control, and animal welfare regulations. The bill also adds a definition of "pet" as a domesticated animal kept for companionship, such as a cat or dog. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for dog owners in obtaining insurance and to enhance the living conditions for residents in supportive housing by allowing them to have a companion animal.
