Nevada Sex Offenders
Nevada State Law
The 1997 Nevada Legislature approved Senate Bill 325, hereinafter referred to generally as NRS Chapter 179D which requires risk assessments and community notification of all adult and certain juvenile sex offenders residing within the state.
NRS Chapter 179D also establishes a statewide registry of sex offenders and offenders convicted of certain crimes against children in addition to establishing a program to provide the public with access to certain information in the statewide registry. Certain provisions concerning the registration of sex offenders have been revised, along with revisions relating to community notification of adult and certain juvenile sex offenders.
If an offender's risk of recidivism and threat to public safety is determined by the assessment to be high, in addition to the notification provided under Tiers 1 [local law enforcement agency] and 2 [to any school districts, camps, day care centers, youth organizations, or other qualifying religious or community organizations within the local law enforcement agency's jurisdiction that care for or otherwise provide programs for children or women and which are reasonably likely to encounter the offender] as set forth above, notification of the informational items specified in section 8.10 of these guidelines and procedures shall be provided by local law enforcement to those individual members of the community within the local law enforcement agency's jurisdiction that are reasonably likely to encounter the offender and who, in the local law enforcement agency's considered judgment are appropriate individuals to receive such notification.
