Nevada AB250 revises debt collection laws to address economic abuse and coerced debt.

Nevada AB250 amends existing law to introduce specific requirements for creditors and reporting agencies when dealing with debts resulting from economic abuse or coerced debt. If a debtor claims a debt is due to economic abuse or coerced debt and provides notice and documentation, creditors must cease collection efforts, dismiss any related actions, and return any payments made. Creditors can seek a court order to challenge the claim, but the debtor's notice and documentation are considered prima facie evidence.
