Freedom to Try Experimental Treatments Amendment
Did not qualify
Nevada · November 2026 general election · Constitutional amendment · Election day November 3, 2026
Topics: Civil rights, Health care
In plain language
This proposed constitutional amendment would have established a right for Nevadans with life-altering diseases or conditions to access experimental treatments reviewed by an independent institutional review board, without state regulatory barriers beyond existing federal and state requirements. It would have granted liability protection to participating physicians, manufacturers, and facilities except in cases of fraud, intentional misconduct, or gross negligence, and would not have required insurers or providers to cover such treatments. Supporters did not submit enough valid signatures by the June 24, 2026 deadline, so the measure will not appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot.

What supporters and opponents say
These are summaries of arguments made by the named organizations, drawn from the sources listed below. They are their claims, not this site's, and this site takes no position on the measure.
What supporters say
- Filer Dan Montano, of the PAC Freedom to Try Medical Innovations for Nevada, says Nevada's existing right-to-try law reaches too few patients, citing federal data showing fewer than two dozen investigational drugs were made available under that law from 2018 to 2022.
- Montano says the amendment would position Nevada as a hub for biotechnology and medical innovation.
What opponents say
- No major organized opposition campaign was reported before the signature deadline; the filer himself said he did not expect significant organized opposition in 2026.
