AB 97 — Summary (BDR 14‑499): Revises provisions relating to public safety

Status: Enacted as Chapter 21 (2025). Approved by Governor May 26, 2025; Chaptered May 27, 2025.
Primary subject: Requirements for submission of crime and criminal‑history data to Nevada’s Central Repository (NRS chapter 179A).

Purpose
- Modernize and standardize how Nevada agencies submit crime reports and criminal‑history information to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History by requiring use of the National Incident‑Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

Key provisions
- Adds a definition of “National Incident‑Based Reporting System” to chapter 179A of the Nevada Revised Statutes, identifying it as the system operated by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (per 34 U.S.C. § 10132).
- Amends NRS 179A.010 to make the new definition part of the chapter’s defined terms.
- Amends NRS 179A.075 to require that:
- Each agency of criminal justice and any other agency dealing with crime submit the information collected to the Central Repository “through the use of the National Incident‑Based Reporting System” (replacing prior language referencing the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program).
- State and local law enforcement agencies submit Uniform Crime Reports to the Central Repository via NIBRS and in the manner and timeframe prescribed by the Department Director.
- Retains and reaffirms existing submission requirements for criminal‑history records and DNA profile data (electronic/magnetic media or other methods prescribed by the Director), including the 60‑day submission window after case disposition and procedures for deleting erroneous arrest records.
- Confers existing operational duties on the Central Repository (collecting, maintaining, tabulating, analyzing, and disseminating data) consistent with the updated reporting standard.

Who is affected
- All Nevada agencies of criminal justice and other agencies that collect or handle crime‑related information (state and local law enforcement, courts/agencies that submit criminal‑history or DNA information).
- The Records, Communications and Compliance Division (Central Repository) in the Department of Public Safety, which must receive and process data via NIBRS.

Fiscal and procedural notes
- Fiscal notes in committee report indicate no expected fiscal effect on state or local government.
- Legislative history: introduced January 2025; heard in relevant committees; passed both houses; enrolled and chaptered as Chapter 21 (2025).
- Effective date: the act is chaptered/enacted May 27, 2025. (Check the final statute text for any specific effective‑date language or implementation timelines promulgated by the Department/Director.)

Note on source materials
- The assembled documents included an unrelated tax‑exclusion measure (California draft language addressing settlements from the 2020 Bobcat Fire). The enrolled/chaptered AB 97 (BDR 14‑499) reflected above is the Nevada public‑safety measure amending NRS chapter 179A to require NIBRS reporting.
