Nevada Caps Fee For FMLA Certifications

During the 2025 Legislative Session, the Nevada Legislature passed Assembly Bill 305 which prohibits a health care provider from charging a person more than $30 to complete a FMLA certification required by an employer. This new law went into effect on October 1, 2025. 

The $30 cap may be increased or decreased by Nevada’s Department of Health and Human Services annually to correspond to the percentage of increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index (All Items) published by the U.S. Department of Labor. Any change to the cap must be posted on the Department’s website and would become effective on January 1 of the year in question. 

The cap only applies to FMLA certifications required under 29 U.S.C. § 2613 but would include requests for recertifications. It does not apply to other requests, such as paperwork needed to evaluate an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act or a return-to-work certification.

While the cap does not change the FMLA requirements in any way, it is helpful for employers to know about this Nevada development in case an employee objects to obtaining a FMLA certification because of the cost. If you have questions about this matter, please contact a KZA attorney.
