Bill overview
This bill updates how Nevada counts incarcerated individuals for redistricting purposes. It requires the Department of Corrections to maintain detailed records of inmates, including their last known residential address, age, and race/ethnicity. The State Demographer will use this information to revise population counts for census tracts, ensuring that inmates are accurately reflected in district apportionment. The bill also establishes specific requirements for handling inmates with unknown or non-Nevada residential addresses.
