Bill overview
This bill updates Nevada law regarding domestic violence investigations. It requires peace officers to conduct lethality assessments when there’s a reasonable belief the alleged perpetrator may pose a risk to the victim. Officers must then take specific actions based on the assessment results, including notifying the victim and referring them to support services. Furthermore, the bill mandates that law enforcement agencies use standardized forms for documenting lethality assessments and requires submitting these results to the district attorney. Finally, courts are authorized to consider lethality assessment results when determining custody arrangements.
