Nevada has no statewide plastic straw restriction, leaving regulation of single-use straws to local governments and individual food service operators.
Nevada law does not require upon-request straw policies or ban single-use plastic straws. Food service establishments operate under NRS 446 health and sanitation rules but may freely provide plastic, paper, or compostable straws. Local jurisdictions may enact ordinances restricting plastic straws in line with sustainability or accessibility goals. Disability rights protections under federal ADA require reasonable accommodation, meaning blanket straw bans must allow exceptions for individuals who need flexible straws.
No statewide penalties for plastic straw distribution; local ordinance violations carry administrative fines under city or county code.
