Bill overview
This bill revises Nevada law regarding the care of children by expanding the circumstances under which a parent or guardian is not considered to have abused or neglected a child or injured their health and welfare. Specifically, it adds provisions allowing for the admission of children with behavioral health needs into mental health facilities or hospitals and permitting the bringing of biological, foster, or adoptive children into a home if those children’s needs pose a risk to the family’s safety. The bill also clarifies criminal liability related to child abuse and neglect, aligning it with the concept of ‘allowing’ abuse to occur.
