Bill > AB322

This bill modifies regulations for common-interest communities by preventing homeowners' associations (HOAs) from prohibiting unit owners or their tenants from operating small child care establishments within their units. Specifically, the bill defines a small child care establishment as a business that provides care for up to four children under 18 years old who are not related to the operator, operates for monetary compensation, is outside the home without parents present, and runs for at least 6 hours per day, 4 days per week, for more than 3 consecutive weeks. While HOAs cannot outright ban such establishments, they are allowed to create reasonable regulations that align with existing laws, such as requiring the child care business to be properly registered under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 432A. The legislation aims to provide more flexibility for residents who want to operate small-scale child care businesses from their homes within common-interest communities, while still maintaining the ability of HOAs to establish basic operational guidelines and ensure compliance with state regulations.
