AB 467 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to forensic mental health. (BDR 14-842)

AB 467 allows courts to order involuntary mental health treatment for criminal defendants found incompetent who pose a danger to themselves or others, provided treatment is needed to regain competence. It creates new options for treatment in county jails (for Clark and Washoe Counties) instead of separate facilities, requires better record-sharing between providers, and exempts mental health staff from following psychiatric advance directives in these cases. The bill directly affects criminal defendants, mental health facilities, county governments (responsible for transportation costs), and juvenile courts handling child placements. Key mechanisms include court-ordered admission criteria, jail-based treatment facilities, and updated data tracking for defendants in mental health facilities.

MODERATE

This bill was finalized as 'As Enrolled' after being a 'Second Reprint,' meaning it is now ready for signature by the Governor. The substantive policy content remains the same, focusing on allowing mental health facilities to operate within county jails in larger counties and mandating that juvenile detention centers immediately accept children ordered by courts.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it applies to counties with populations of 100,000 or more and to the Division of Child and Family Services.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative tracking headers, including the 'Second Reprint' status, page numbers, and the 'Explanatory Note' regarding formatting conventions.

Added the official 'As Enrolled' header, indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is awaiting the Governor's signature.

Replaced the Legislative Counsel's Digest with the standard 'EXPLANATION' section used in final enrolled bills.

Deleted the line numbers and specific amendment markers (e.g., '1[...]1') that were used to track changes during the legislative process.
