Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
9 provisions identified: 8 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Clear rules for suicide death reviews
The suicide‑fatality review committee must set a written protocol for which deaths are reported and screened, and which may be rejected. It may review accidental deaths if that helps prevention and may use full or limited reviews. It may not review cases with pending litigation. The Committee can obtain and use data to study suicide deaths, spot trends, find risk factors, and recommend prevention steps, and must consult key partners when possible.
More data sharing in domestic violence death reviews
Criminal‑justice agencies must share criminal‑history records with the Committee when it reviews a domestic‑violence death. Local multidisciplinary teams may meet with the Committee during these reviews. Adult‑maltreatment investigators may share needed final investigative, autopsy, medical and agency records with the Committee; records stay confidential. Child‑welfare agencies may share needed records with review teams and with the Committee when it helps child safety or fits legal exceptions.
Stronger child and maternal death reviews
Child‑death review teams can access law‑enforcement reports, autopsy and coroner files, medical and mental‑health records, and social‑service records when relevant. Team members must share needed information and can seek subpoenas; subpoenaed records are confidential and privileged. Teams may work with related domestic‑violence reviewers and use only non‑identifying data for research. The maternal‑mortality committee gets similar access to final investigative files for closed cases, autopsy, medical, mental‑health, social‑service and cancer‑registry records. Its meetings and records are confidential, and it may seek subpoenas and use only aggregated, non‑identifying data.
Stronger privacy for child welfare records
Child‑welfare agencies must keep legally confidential information confidential. Before releasing information, they must protect reporters’ identities and safety and avoid disclosures that would cause specific, material harm to an investigation or a person’s life or safety. An agency may refuse disclosure after consulting its attorney if sharing would specifically and materially harm a criminal investigation. It is a gross misdemeanor to further disclose child‑welfare information you were given, with narrow official‑use exceptions. Agencies must adopt rules to carry out these disclosure, protection, and fee requirements.
Vital records opened to review teams
The State Registrar or Board must allow domestic‑violence, child‑death, suicide‑fatality reviewers, and the statewide Committee to use death certificates for reviews. The Board may let researchers use vital‑statistics data only in a form that does not identify people. The Board must also allow data use needed to carry out NRS 442.300–442.330.
Committee expands duties and membership
The state committee now covers sexual assault as well as domestic violence. It reviews officer training, studies rural justice and human‑trafficking links, and can fund prevention programs when money is available. It must report to lawmakers by March 1 of each odd‑numbered year. The law updates who serves, sets two‑year terms, requires rural members, and sets meeting rules. The Attorney General must also name a state department to run the sexual‑assault kit‑tracking program based on the Committee’s recommendation.
Statewide victim notification for crime victims
Victims and the public can register by phone or online to get automatic notices about an offender’s custody status. The Attorney General runs the system. Law enforcement, corrections, public safety, and parole agencies must help when funding allows. The Committee on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault sets operating rules. Missing a notice does not create a right to sue the State.
Funding account for victim support programs
The state account is renamed to cover both domestic‑violence and sexual‑assault programs. The Ombudsman manages the money. The $35 fee collected under NRS 176.094 and any gifts or grants go into this account. Funds may support the Committee, train law‑enforcement and court staff, assist victims, educate the public, and carry out the Ombudsman’s duties.
Your child welfare records: access and fees
If you are named as the alleged abuser, you can ask for copies of your own written or recorded statements, or a written summary of the allegations. If a report about you is not substantiated and you believe it was made in bad faith, you can ask a district court to order release; the court must find a real factual question and no likely danger to the reporter. If you reported suspected abuse, the agency may give you a summary of the outcome. The agency may charge a reasonable processing fee to prepare records for release. You may allow release of your own information, but not anyone else’s.
