Bill overview
This bill modifies Nevada’s orders for protection against domestic violence to streamline the process when a respondent is in custody. Specifically, it requires temporary orders served on incarcerated individuals to inform them that they can contest an extended order by filing a brief statement indicating their objection. If the individual doesn’t respond within 14 days while still in custody, the court can proceed with the extended order hearing without their input. This change aims to improve efficiency in domestic violence cases involving incarcerated individuals.
