AB 320 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions related to the administration of justice. (BDR 1-810)

AB 320 prevents courts from denying defendants access to courtrooms solely because they are not wearing formal attire, such as suits, dress shirts, or closed-toe shoes. It also changes bail rules by prohibiting bail for certain misdemeanor offenses without prior convictions, requiring courts to choose the least restrictive release option. Additionally, the bill mandates a pilot program for the Division of Parole and Probation to create job training and employment opportunities for parolees and probationers. These provisions directly affect criminal defendants, courts, and parole/probation systems in Nevada.
