5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Beginning July 1, 2025, if you may qualify for Medicaid and are allowed to apply, the DOC completes your Medicaid application. The DOC must do this no more than 90 days before your scheduled release when early applications are allowed, or immediately at release when required. If you are eligible for Medicare, the DOC completes your Medicare enrollment paperwork when you are released.
Beginning July 1, 2025, when you leave prison by sentence end, pardon, or parole, the Nevada DOC cannot collect your outstanding medical debt or report it to credit bureaus. If you later return to custody, the DOC may resume collection while you are in custody. The same ban also applies to people who were released before July 1, 2025.
Beginning July 1, 2025, at release the DOC gives you clothing for reentry and pays to get you to your home in the continental U.S. or to your place of conviction. The DOC requires at least one HIV exposure test. The DOC provides a 30-day supply of any prescription you were taking in custody. The Director may also give up to $100 in cash based on economic need. Before release, the DOC may offer optional mediation with your family or friends who support you. The State General Fund pays for these items when not already covered by other laws.
Beginning July 1, 2025, up to three months before your projected release, the DOC may offer job-focused reentry programs if space is available. You must be found eligible under the Nevada Risk Assessment System and be enrolled in reentry programming. Programs can be in facilities or in the community and may include bonding help to enter the workplace.
Beginning July 1, 2025, the DOC must give you a DOC photo ID on request and help you get a driver’s license or state ID if you ask and are eligible, or if you lack an ID. A DOC ID must state whether your full legal name and age were verified with original or certified documents. You can use a DOC ID that shows this verification as proof of name and age for a Nevada ID at the DMV. The DMV will set rules listing which documents prove identity and age and will set criteria for out-of-state and foreign applicants based on their purpose in the U.S. Starting July 1, 2025, the DMV will not accept consular ID cards as proof of name or age for a state ID.
