AI Summary

This bill establishes a statewide database and public internet website within Nevada's Central Repository for Records of Criminal History that will track individuals with two or more domestic violence convictions. The database will include detailed public information about these individuals such as their name, date of birth, physical description, photograph, offense details, and conviction history, while protecting certain confidential information like social security numbers and victim identities. Individuals can petition to have their information removed from the database if they have not been convicted of domestic violence in the past seven years or if a court has expunged their records. The bill prohibits using this database information for purposes like insurance, loans, employment, housing, or other services, and establishes civil liability for anyone misusing the information. The Department of Public Safety and law enforcement agencies are granted immunity from liability related to the database's information. The database's implementation requires consultation with domestic violence service organizations, and the website must also provide resources and contact information for such organizations. The new system is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, with provisions to prevent retroactive inclusion of individuals who would be eligible for removal before that date.
