SB 86 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides immunity from liability to certain providers of health care. (BDR 3-501)

This bill provides legal immunity to healthcare providers who perform forensic medical examinations for sexual assault victims or strangulation forensic examinations in domestic violence cases. It protects providers from civil lawsuits for ordinary mistakes made during these exams, as long as their actions weren't grossly negligent. The immunity specifically applies to examinations covered under Nevada statutes NRS 217.300 (sexual assault exams) and NRS 217.405 (strangulation exams). This clarifies that providers won't face liability for standard care during these sensitive procedures.
