Q: Does Nevada have its own paid family leave program?

No state-administered paid family leave. Nevada workers rely on federal FMLA (29 U.S.C. § 2612) for unpaid job-protected leave. Some employers offer paid leave voluntarily.

Q: Where do I file a state ADA-equivalent disability discrimination complaint in Nevada?

Nevada Equal Rights Commission. State FEP agencies typically have parallel jurisdiction with the EEOC for ADA Title I claims. Nevada status as a "deferral state" extends the federal EEOC charge filing window from 180 to 300 days.

Q: If my employer denies a reasonable accommodation in Nevada, what are my options?

Federal: file an EEOC charge within 180/300 days for the failure-to-accommodate claim under 42 U.S.C. § 12112(b)(5)(A). State: file a parallel charge with Nevada Equal Rights Commission which may have additional remedies. You can also request the interactive process under 29 CFR § 1630.2(o)(3) — that record-preserving demand is what the ADA accommodation wizard generates.
