In 2021, the state of Nevada passed legislation that prohibited the use of battery cages within the state starting January 1, 2024. Also as of January 1, 2024, shell eggs and egg products sold within the state must come from hens in cage-free facilities. Under Nevada law, the cage-free housing system must include one square foot of usable floor space per egg-laying hen if the cage-free housing system allows the hens unrestricted access to elevated flat platforms, unlimited access in a multi-tiered aviary or partially slatted system OR one and a half square feet of usable floor space per egg-laying hen if the cage-free housing system does not provide unlimited access to elevated flat platforms, including unrestricted access in a single-level, all-litter floor system. 

Furthermore, outdoor and indoor enclosures, where the hens are unrestricted and free to roam, must provide enrichment that allows the egg-laying hens to exhibit natural behaviors, including, without limitation, scratch areas, perches, nest boxes and dust bathing areas and must allow farm workers to provide care while standing in the usable floor space allotted to the hens.
