Bill > SB102

This bill introduces several new provisions to strengthen election integrity and prevent electoral fraud in Nevada. It specifically prohibits individuals from knowingly creating or serving in a false slate of presidential electors, which means attempting to submit an unauthorized list of electors who did not win the state's popular vote. Violating this provision would be classified as a category D felony, punishable by 1-4 years in state prison and potentially a $5,000 fine. The bill also makes it illegal to interfere with the nomination and selection process of presidential electors, and prohibits individuals convicted of these offenses from being elected or appointed to public office. Additionally, the legislation creates new criminal penalties for knowingly filing false election-related documents with intent to defraud, which would be a category C felony carrying a potential 1-5 year prison sentence. The bill allows individuals to report potential violations to the Secretary of State, who is required to investigate or refer the matter to the Attorney General or district attorney for potential prosecution. Furthermore, the bill modifies existing law to ensure that people convicted of these specific election-related crimes cannot have their civil right to hold public office restored, even after serving their sentence or being placed on probation.
