Revises provisions relating to the criminal justice system. (BDR 15-157)
AB 150 strengthens legal protections for tribal judges of federally recognized tribes in Nevada by expanding existing laws that prohibit threats and intimidation against public officials. The bill adds tribal judges to the list of protected individuals, making threats or intimidation against them a felony with enhanced penalties if physical force is used, and requires courts to treat assaults on tribal judges like those against other judicial officers. It also grants tribal judges new rights to request confidential handling of their personal information by county offices and an alternate address on driver's licenses or ID cards through the Department of Motor Vehicles. These changes directly affect tribal judges within Nevada's tribal nations, providing specific safety and privacy measures.
