AB30

Nevada AB30 revises provisions for accessing records of defendants found incompetent.

Nevada AB30 amends existing law to authorize the Administrator of the Division of Public and Behavioral Health to request access to records from the Department of Corrections and local detention facilities. These records, including medical and mental health information, assist in evaluating and treating defendants previously detained or imprisoned. The bill requires local detention facilities to provide these records upon request, unless otherwise ordered by a court. The act becomes effective upon passage and approval.
