Bill overview
This bill changes Nevada law to allow peace officers to be hired without requiring U.S. citizenship, as long as they are legally authorized to work in the U.S., have prior law enforcement experience, and meet other relevant requirements. It also prohibits the Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Commission from requiring U.S. citizenship for peace officer appointments. The bill voids existing regulations that conflict with these changes, aiming to broaden the pool of potential peace officers in the state.
