AI Summary

This bill establishes detailed reporting requirements for practitioners or entities conducting pilot programs researching transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or electromagnetic brain pulse treatment in Nevada. Before starting the research, the practitioner must submit a notification to the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau that includes the researcher's name, research purpose, anticipated number of subjects, research location, and proof of necessary licenses. During the pilot program, quarterly reports must be submitted containing information about research subjects, including demographic data, health assessments, treatment outcomes, and ethical monitoring. After the program concludes, a final report detailing research results and recommendations must be submitted. The bill defines TMS as a noninvasive procedure using magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas, and electromagnetic brain pulse treatment as a noninvasive method using electroencephalography to identify and normalize brain wave patterns. Importantly, the reports must not identify individual research subjects, and the Legislative Counsel Bureau is only required to receive these reports, not evaluate them. The act will be in effect from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2027, and allows researchers to collaborate with higher education institutions and accept external funding for their pilot programs.
