Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada’s Department of Corrections cannot charge incarcerated people more than its actual cost for audio or video calls. Calls covered by the free-call program cannot trigger repayment deductions. Any communications-provider contract the Department enters must require compliance with the federal rule for returning deposited account money. This requirement uses 47 C.F.R. § 64.6130 as it existed on January 1, 2025.
Beginning July 1, 2025, the law permanently provides one free 15-minute family phone call each day for people in Nevada state custody assigned to Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center. The Department of Corrections runs the program and can set rules; calls cannot violate legal or court-ordered contact bans. The state provides $246,046 for fiscal year 2025–2026 and $253,602 for fiscal year 2026–2027. Unspent funding cannot carry forward after June 30 of each fiscal year. Remaining money must return to the State General Fund by September 18, 2026, and September 17, 2027, respectively.
