Bill overview
This bill expands Nevada’s Unfair Trade Practice Act to specifically prohibit manipulating the prices of essential goods and services. It defines ‘essential good or service’ as items needed daily or regularly for livelihood, including food, housing, and utilities. The bill establishes a penalty for those who knowingly engage in deceptive trade practices to artificially inflate the prices of these goods, with exceptions for authorized regulations and certain promotional activities. Importantly, the bill does not create a private right of action.
