Criminal Justice (Corrections)

AB 25 revises health care requirements for incarcerated women by narrowing when annual pelvic examinations and mammograms must be provided - only for those over 21 (for pelvic exams) or over 40 (for mammograms), unless a healthcare provider recommends them based on medical history. The bill repeals a program requiring courts to offer regimental discipline as an alternative to incarceration and removes court authority to order it. Additionally, it updates notarization rules for incarcerated people, allowing inmate ID cards or sworn declarations to verify identity for document notarization. These changes directly affect incarcerated women, courts, and correctional facilities in Nevada.

This bill changes Nevada's bail rules for defendants who commit new felonies while on release. If a defendant is convicted of a new felony during their bail period, their bail must be immediately revoked and they must remain in jail without the possibility of being released again before trial. It removes an existing procedure that sometimes allowed re-release after a new arrest for certain felonies. The bill directly affects defendants charged with new crimes while out on bail and requires courts to follow this mandatory process.
