Domestic violence protections cover an appointed custodian or legal guardian of the alleged offender’s minor child. The law also covers kidnapping and attempts or requests to commit acts that count as domestic violence. - Broader restricted license options for children: benefit, medium. Juvenile courts may order a restricted license when license suspension or delay is not in the child’s best interest. Courts must send the order to the motor vehicles department within 5 days. For listed substance and alcohol offenses, this replaces the hardship test. For tobacco offenses, it replac… - Sealed records after wrongful conviction relief: benefit, medium. When a court grants a wrongful-conviction judgment and enters a certificate of innocence, it must seal the conviction records. Prior Nevada convictions do not block this relief. Records held by parties about the wrongful-conviction lawsuit must remain confidential. - More addiction treatment in Nevada lockups: benefit, medium. State prisons and local jails must offer voluntary medication treatment for eligible people with substance use disorders when money is available. State prison programs also need Board approval; participants must have a disorder medication can treat and meet reasonable participation requirements. Pe… - Another reentry option for some offenders: benefit, low. Nevada's corrections director may create an alternative program to help offenders return to the community. The director may place and supervise offenders whom the Parole Board did not place after the director requested placement. The law does not require the program or guarantee anyone a place. - Limited driving access for eligible juveniles: benefit, low. A juvenile court may order a restricted driver's license for a child whose suspension falls under the covered juvenile provisions. The court must find that limited driving is in the child's best interest; approval is not guaranteed. Courts must send juvenile restricted-license orders to the Departm… - More reentry service options for offenders: benefit, low. Nevada’s corrections department may create an alternative correctional program to help eligible offenders return to the community. Its Director may contract for needed housing, treatment, life-skills training, and job training for covered program participants. The Director must provide needed and a… - Courts check firearm surrender compliance: benefit, low. Courts must schedule compliance hearings for the covered orders to surrender, sell, or transfer firearms. This includes covered domestic violence protection orders. Hearings generally occur 2 to 5 business days after the order, or within 1 business day after release from custody. Courts may cancel… - More assault protections for frontline workers: benefit, low. Enhanced assault and battery penalties cover more hospitality workers and public employees doing child protection or comparable dangerous work. Battery protections also reach qualifying civilian law-enforcement employees and volunteers. Qualifying resort, arena, stadium, and convention-center worke… - More staffing options for release hearings: benefit, low. Prosecutors may handle pretrial release hearings across jurisdictions using the law’s approval or deputizing process. District-attorney staff serving outside their county need approval from their employing district attorney. In counties under 100,000 residents, designated city attorneys may serve t… - Separate charges for each depicted child: benefit, low. Knowing and willful possession of a covered sexual image counts as a separate offense for each depicted person under 16. The rule applies to possession for any purpose. A single visual presentation showing multiple children can therefore support multiple offenses. - Stronger stalking protections online and offline: benefit, low. Stalking covers two or more acts over time, in person or electronically, showing a continuing purpose toward one person. Willful or malicious conduct without lawful authority must cause both reasonable and actual fear or distress. This includes fear for a current or former dating partner’s immediat… - Easier access to peer recovery resources: benefit, low. Nevada’s health department must make the required information about peer recovery support services available. People providing or supervising legally qualifying peer recovery services are exempt from the listed professional licensing requirements. Those include psychologist, social-worker, and alco… - Opioid treatment coordination and training priorities: benefit, low. Creators of prisoner medication-assisted treatment programs must work with Nevada’s health department when programs address opioid use disorder. The statewide assessment guiding Fund for a Resilient Nevada spending must prioritize resources for criminal-justice training. Training covers trauma-info… - Courts and prisons get implementation funding: benefit, low. The law provides courts $919,080 for fiscal year 2025–2026 and $948,695 for fiscal year 2026–2027. Corrections receives $2.242145 million and $2.915779 million for those years, respectively. The money comes from the State General Fund through the Interim Finance Committee to carry out the law. Unco… - Device limits for certain parolees: cost, medium. The Parole Board generally must ban computer and electronic-device ownership or use after convictions for listed offenses. These include electronic stalking, child sexual-image offenses, and computer-assisted child luring. The Board may omit the ban for listed law-enforcement, training, or employme… - Graffiti tools bring juvenile license penalties: cost, medium. A child found delinquent for unlawfully carrying a graffiti tool faces a 1-to-2-year license suspension or delayed issuance. This adds that offense to the existing license penalties for graffiti and property defacement. The court may allow a restricted license when suspension is not in the child’s… - Some abuse charges block automatic sealing: cost, medium. The covered automatic record-sealing rules exclude people charged with specified child-abuse or child-neglect offenses. They also exclude specified abuse offenses involving older or vulnerable people. Discharge, dismissal, or setting aside a conviction does not provide automatic sealing through the… - Innocence awards do not establish wrongdoing: cost, low. An innocence certificate or wrongful-conviction award does not itself establish wrongdoing by the people specified in the law. It also does not itself establish that probable cause was absent in the listed situations. The rule does not decide other claims or findings. - Longer sentences for deadly impaired driving: cost, low. The law raises prison terms for impaired driving or boating that causes another person's death. With no prior qualifying offense, this category B felony carries 2–25 years in prison and a $2,000–$5,000 fine. With one or two prior qualifying offenses, the prison term is 5–25 years, with the same fin… - Marijuana driving limits cover more felonies: cost, low. Blood-level limits for marijuana or its byproducts apply to additional specified felony offenses involving driving or operating a vessel. The prohibition applies when the person’s blood reaches the amount specified by law. - Retail theft damage triggers felony charges: cost, low. Intentionally damaging a retail establishment during a covered theft is a category C felony when theft and damage total at least $750. The threshold can be reached by the theft value, the damage value, or both combined. - Juvenile battery hearings and mental-health safeguards: mixed, medium. A child held for battery against a school employee or child welfare professional cannot be released before a required detention hearing. This applies after at least two qualifying battery custody incidents in the prior year, with informal supervision or a delinquency petition. The court must order… - Cash bail pays restitution before fines: mixed, low. At sentencing, remaining cash bail from someone other than a surety goes first toward restitution after notice and depositor consent. Remaining money goes toward fines and costs. Any surplus returns to the depositor unless they direct in writing that someone else receive it. - Interlock deadline and driving privilege rules: mixed, low. Drivers ordered to install an ignition interlock device must do so within 14 days after the order. For orders under Nevada’s court sentencing interlock law, the motor vehicles department must issue an interlock driving privilege. It must first receive the order and the driver’s proof of compliance. - Corridor bans with a diversion option: mixed, low. Counties with at least 700,000 residents must designate public safety corridors by ordinance and post understandable maps online. A first corridor misdemeanor within two years can bring an entry ban of up to one year. A second or later offense within two years requires a ban of at least one year, s… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Senate Committee on Judiciary ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-06-02 | Senate | Final Passage - Senate (1st Reprint) | pass | 20 | 1 | | | 2025-06-02 | House | Final Passage - Assembly (1st Reprint) | pass | 36 | 6 | | ## Actions (19) - 2025-06-04: From printer.
