AB 97 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to public safety. (BDR 14-499)

AB 97 updates Nevada's crime data reporting requirements by requiring all criminal justice agencies to submit information to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History through the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) instead of the previous FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program. This change affects police departments, courts, and other agencies that collect and submit crime data. The bill defines NIBRS as the system operated by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (per 34 U.S.C. § 10132) and maintains existing submission deadlines (60 days after case disposition). It does not alter data types or impose new fiscal impacts on state or local governments.

MODERATE
This bill updates Nevada's criminal record reporting system by requiring agencies to use the National Incident-Based Reporting System instead of the previous Uniform Crime Reporting Program. The change modernizes how crime data is collected and submitted to the Central Repository, aligning state practices with federal standards while maintaining the same core requirement of timely data submission.

The bill maintains the same scope of agencies required to report (criminal justice agencies and other crime-related agencies) but changes the technical method of reporting from UCR Program compliance to National Incident-Based Reporting System usage.
