More access to jail health records for treatment

The law lets Nevada’s health division get records from local jails or the state prison system to evaluate and treat defendants found not competent. For local jails, this applies only if the person was previously held there or ordered to serve time there. Local jails must give access to medical and mental health records they have, unless a court orders otherwise. The records can be used only to evaluate and treat the defendant. The Division does not need the defendant’s oral or written consent to get these records.
