AB 30 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to records of defendants who have been found incompetent. (BDR 14-293)

AB 30 expands existing law to require local detention facilities (like county jails) to share medical and mental health records with the Department of Health and Human Services' Administrator when a defendant previously held in that facility is found incompetent and committed to their care. The bill mandates that local facilities provide these records upon request - without needing the defendant's consent - for the sole purpose of evaluating and treating the defendant. This change extends a current requirement (previously only applying to the Department of Corrections) to cover all local detention settings. The policy directly affects defendants found incompetent who have been detained in local facilities, ensuring their treatment providers have access to relevant health history.
