Bill > AB258A

This bill establishes comprehensive protections for the personal information of donors, members, and volunteers of nonprofit organizations in Nevada. The legislation requires governmental entities to maintain confidentiality of personal information that identifies individuals associated with nonprofit organizations, with several specific exceptions. Governmental entities are prohibited from requesting, releasing, or publicly disclosing such personal information, which includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other data that could directly or indirectly identify a person's involvement with a nonprofit. The bill provides robust legal remedies, allowing individuals to bring civil actions against governmental entities that violate these provisions, with potential damages of at least $2,500 for a violation and $7,500 for an intentional violation. Exceptions to the confidentiality requirements include certain legal proceedings, federal law compliance, specific statutory reporting requirements, and voluntary disclosures. The bill also includes exceptions for law enforcement investigations, court orders, and specific types of government interactions with nonprofit organizations. To support implementation, the bill appropriates funds to the Office of the Attorney General to hire additional staff and provides clear definitions of terms like "nonprofit organization" and "personal information" to ensure precise application of the law.
