Imposes certain requirements relating to unclothed searches of children at certain juvenile justice facilities. (BDR 5-496)
AB 89 requires juvenile justice facilities - including regional treatment centers, local detention facilities, and state detention facilities - to adopt written policies banning unclothed searches of children (defined as visual inspections of breasts, buttocks, or genitalia) except in extraordinary circumstances. Key provisions mandate that any permitted unclothed search must involve at least two staff members present throughout, and the staff conducting the search must submit a written report to facility leadership within 72 hours detailing the search. The bill directly affects all facilities housing detained or committed youth in Nevada, aiming to protect children from unnecessary invasions of privacy during facility searches. It aligns with existing laws requiring humane treatment and prohibits searches intended as harassment or punishment.
