Bill overview
This bill changes Nevada law regarding criminal records. Specifically, it eliminates the ability of a court to consider a previous legal proceeding when deciding whether to seal a criminal record related to a different offense. Currently, courts could factor in details from sealed proceedings when evaluating petitions to seal records. This change restricts courts to only considering the records themselves when determining whether to grant a sealing petition.
