Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Removal rights for people publicly listed

Beginning July 1, 2025, listed people can ask Nevada’s Public Safety Director to remove their information. The Director must grant removal after seven years without a qualifying conviction before the request. Removal is also required when a court’s sealing or expungement order makes the person ineligible for listing. That court-record route does not apply to people with three or more qualifying convictions. Nevada cannot list anyone who already qualified for removal before July 1, 2025, even without a removal request.

Protection against harmful uses of listings

Beginning July 1, 2025, database information generally cannot be used for insurance, loan, credit, job, education, or housing decisions. The ban includes health insurance, scholarships, fellowships, accommodations, and benefits, privileges, or services offered by businesses. A specific statute can still authorize a use. A person harmed by a prohibited use can bring a civil case or have one brought on their behalf. Recovery includes damages, lawyer fees, and case costs; the law sets no fixed damages amount.

Agency immunity limits claims over listings

Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada’s Department of Public Safety and law enforcement agencies receive criminal and civil immunity for database-related actions. Their officers and employees receive the same protection. It covers actions and failures to act involving information collected, kept, or disclosed under the database rules. This includes information accuracy and decisions to disclose or withhold it, limiting legal claims against covered agencies and staff.

Public listings of repeat domestic violence convictions

Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada must maintain a free public website listing people with at least two qualifying Nevada domestic violence convictions. Searches use names or other identifying details. Available listings include names, aliases, birth dates, physical descriptions, recent photos, offenses, conviction dates, punishments, and supervision or discharge status. Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, phone numbers, victims’ identities, and other confidential details cannot be displayed. The website must explain removal requests and list Nevada victim-service contacts; the Director must consult a victim-service representative and use existing systems when feasible. Public listings can be shared further under an exception to criminal-record sharing limits, but the law’s separate prohibited-use rules still apply. The law also adds public-records exemptions for records covered by this system.
