Bill overview
This bill allows courts in Nevada to permit a ‘facility dog’ – a trained assistance dog – to be present during legal proceedings for witnesses who are minors or vulnerable individuals. The bill outlines procedures for requesting the use of a facility dog, including qualifications for the dog and handler, and establishes requirements for the court to ensure the dog’s presence doesn’t prejudice the defendant or disrupt the proceedings. It also grants immunity to counties and municipalities from liability for any injuries or losses caused by the dog’s presence.
