SB202 revises Nevada law to clarify and strengthen penalties for housebreaking and unlawful occupancy of vacant properties.
SB202 amends Nevada Revised Statutes to redefine and penalize housebreaking and unlawful occupancy more strictly. Housebreaking now includes forcibly entering an uninhabited or vacant dwelling without permission, with intent to reside, and knowing the entry is unauthorized. A first offense is a gross misdemeanor, while subsequent offenses are category D felonies. Unlawful occupancy involves taking up residence in a vacant property without permission, with a first offense being a gross misdemeanor and three or more prior convictions resulting in a category D felony.
