Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

New discharge protections for children

Nevada’s children’s mental health rules explicitly cover children with severe emotional disturbance. Public and private inpatient psychiatric facilities admitting children with emotional disturbance must establish discharge rules. Those rules must prohibit sending these children to temporary facilities.

Stronger protections for child welfare workers

Nevada extends tougher assault and battery penalties to certain state and local government workers. Covered jobs require public interaction involving child welfare, child protection, or tasks with comparable dangers. The worker must be doing covered duties, and the offender must know or reasonably recognize the worker’s covered role. The specified category B felony battery penalty requires substantial bodily harm or strangulation.
