More parole access for younger offenders
Beginning January 1, 2026, Nevada expands this parole pathway from offenses committed before age 18 to those committed before 25. Prisoners become eligible after 15 calendar years of incarceration if no victim died, or 20 years if one victim died. Time served in county jail counts toward these totals. The pathway does not apply if the offense or offenses caused two or more victims' deaths. Earlier parole eligibility under another law remains available. These rules cover offenses committed before, on, or after January 1, 2026. Eligibility does not guarantee release.
New parole review for long-serving prisoners
Beginning January 1, 2026, Nevada's parole board can grant second-look review to prisoners convicted of Category A or B felonies. They must have served at least 10 years of their court-set minimum prison term, or combined minimum terms. They cannot be sentenced to death or pose a significant public-safety risk that can be clearly explained. Prisoners, prison officials, attorneys or representatives, family members, and medical or mental-health professionals can apply. Corrections staff check eligibility before prisoners are listed and scheduled for a parole hearing. The board can weigh age, prison conduct, rehabilitation, victim statements, sentence consistency with public policy, and release plans. It can also weigh risk assessments, individual needs, sex-offender status, and other relevant evidence. The law's definition of victims includes their relatives. The board gives written decisions; release is not guaranteed. If released, prisoners must follow board-set conditions under parole-agency supervision. After denial, the board normally waits 24 months before reconsidering, unless it shortens the wait or the corrections director requests action. This pathway preserves existing parole eligibility and covers offenses committed before, on, or after January 1, 2026. The board must adopt rules, with rulemaking and administrative work authorized upon passage and approval.
