Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

35 percent sentence credits and rules

Beginning July 1, 2026, eligible offenders get credits equal to 35% of both the minimum and maximum prison terms. Credits count only for time actually in prison; maximum‑term credits also count during residential confinement or custody under Parole and Probation. The Director may grant up to 90 extra days each year for exceptional service. People with violent felonies, sexual felonies, certain felony DUI, or category A or B felonies are excluded. The Department must give each person a list of programs from their needs assessment and which ones are at their prison, and must report programs provided and completed to the Parole Board. Credits are taken away if a person does not follow required programs or placements from their needs assessment, as set by regulation.

Legacy credits for pre-2026 sentences

If your crime was before July 1, 2026, and you do not choose the new rules, you keep legacy credits. You get 20 days off for each month served for crimes on or after July 17, 1997 and before July 1, 2026, if you have no serious infractions. You get 60 days off the maximum term for finishing a vocational or other approved program, plus up to 60 more days for meritorious or exceptional work. During a Governor‑declared disease emergency, you get 5 days off for each month actually in prison, up to 60 days. The law does not cut credits granted before July 1, 2026 if doing so would violate the U.S. or Nevada Constitution.

Funds to upgrade inmate tracking system

The state provides $1,436,720 to Corrections to merge the sentence system into the Nevada Offender Tracking Information System. The money cannot be committed after June 30, 2027. It cannot be spent after September 17, 2027. Any remaining funds must return to the State General Fund by September 17, 2027.

One-time choice to use new credits

Starting July 1, 2026, if your crime was before July 1, 2026, you can make a one‑time choice to use the new credit rules. The choice is final and applies to both minimum‑term and maximum‑term credits. Before you choose, the Department must give you a written estimate showing credits with and without the election.
