More aid for hate-crime victims

People targeted for certain real or perceived traits now count as victims under Nevada’s compensation fund. The Fund can pay up to $1,000 per incident to fix your own property that was damaged during the crime. The state also adds $30,000 in 2025–26 and $30,000 in 2026–27 to help hate‑crime victims. A crime counts as a hate crime if state law adds an extra or enhanced penalty.

Help for survivors in Attorney General cases

The state provides $20,000 in 2025–26 and $20,000 in 2026–27 to the Attorney General’s office. The money supports survivors of crimes that office prosecutes. If your case is handled by the Attorney General, the office now has more resources to help you.

More funds for trafficking victims

The state provides $200,000 to the Account for Victims of Human Trafficking. This money supports services for people who were trafficked.
