AB 25 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to offenders. (BDR 16-296)

AB 25 revises health care requirements for incarcerated women by narrowing when annual pelvic examinations and mammograms must be provided - only for those over 21 (for pelvic exams) or over 40 (for mammograms), unless a healthcare provider recommends them based on medical history. The bill repeals a program requiring courts to offer regimental discipline as an alternative to incarceration and removes court authority to order it. Additionally, it updates notarization rules for incarcerated people, allowing inmate ID cards or sworn declarations to verify identity for document notarization. These changes directly affect incarcerated women, courts, and correctional facilities in Nevada.

MODERATE
This bill narrows the requirement for the Department of Corrections to provide annual pelvic exams and mammograms to incarcerated women. Instead of providing these services to all women, the Department must now only provide them if the woman is over a specific age (21 for pelvic exams, 40-45 for mammograms) or if a healthcare provider recommends them based on specific medical risk factors. The bill also removes the requirement for the Department to establish a 'regimental discipline' program as an alternative to incarceration.
Scope change
The bill significantly restricts the scope of mandatory medical screenings for incarcerated women by introducing age thresholds and provider recommendations as prerequisites for receiving pelvic exams and mammograms.
ELIGIBILITY

Pelvic examinations are now only mandatory for women over 21, unless a healthcare provider recommends them earlier based on personal or family medical history.

Mammograms are now only mandatory for women aged 40-45 who request them, or for women 45 and older, unless a provider recommends them earlier based on specific cancer risk factors.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement for the Department of Corrections to establish and administer a 'program of regimental discipline' as an alternative to incarceration has been eliminated.

Legal provisions authorizing courts to order defendants to undergo the regimental discipline program have been repealed.
