Revises provisions governing the sealing of certain criminal records. (BDR 14-634)
AB 160-82 creates an automatic process for sealing certain criminal records in Nevada, directly affecting people convicted of eligible offenses after January 1, 2027, who meet existing sealing criteria under current law. The bill requires the Department of Public Safety to identify eligible convictions and charges by 2027, then automatically notify courts to seal records by default unless prosecutors object within a set timeframe. It expands the "rebuttable presumption" that records should be sealed (meaning they are sealed unless challenged) and mandates annual reports to the legislature on implementation. The law also establishes an Advisory Task Force and updates procedures for handling sealed records related to firearm restrictions and wrongful convictions.
