Nevada Workers’ Compensation Law
Update
SB 7 (2025 Special Session): Expansion of First Responder Occupational
Disease Presumptions
Nevada enacted Senate Bill 7 during
the 2025 Special Session, significantly expanding occupational disease
presumptions for first responders.
Senate Bill 7 expands workers’
compensation occupational disease presumptions for firefighters and other first
responders, making it easier for them to establish that certain diseases are
work-related. The law strengthens the presumption framework by shifting more of
the evidentiary burden to employers and insurers.
SB 7 became effective immediately on
November 29, 2025 and is structured to apply to claims that were pending and
not finally adjudicated as of that date, not just future filings. As a result,
active litigation and previously denied claims may be reevaluated under the
expanded presumption standard.
