Nevada AB246 revises provisions relating to offenders by regulating food served in institutions and establishing prison farm programs.

Nevada AB246 amends Chapter 209 of NRS by requiring the Director of the Department of Corrections to adopt regulations governing the food served in institutions or facilities. These regulations must require the adoption of the Good Food Purchasing Program or its successor, prohibit contracts with for-profit food vendors, and mandate that a licensed dietitian or registered dietitian approve each meal or menu item based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Additionally, the Director must establish a prison farm program in each institution or facility to the extent funds are available.
