8	8	AN ACT relating to the Private Investigator’s Licensing Board;
9	9	exempting persons engaged exclusively in transporting
10	10	persons for the purposes of a temporary transfer of custody
11	11	pursuant to the Agreement on Detainers, extradition pursuant
12	12	to the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act or a temporary or
13	13	permanent transfer of the custody of a person from one state
14	14	or local governmental agency to another from licensure and
15	15	regulation by the Board; and providing other matters properly
16	16	relating thereto.
17	17	Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
18	18	Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of private investigators,
19	19	private patrol officers, process servers, repossessors, dog handlers, security
20	20	consultants and polygraphic examiners by the Private Investigator’s Licensing
21	21	Board. (Chapter 648 of NRS) Existing law further requires an employee of a person
22	22	licensed by the Board to be registered with the Board to perform any work
23	23	regulated by the Board. (NRS 648.060, 648.1493, 648.203)
24	24	Under existing law, Nevada has enacted the Agreement on Detainers, an
25	25	interstate agreement setting forth certain procedures for the temporary transfer of
26	26	custody of an incarcerated person from the state in which the person is incarcerated
27	27	to another state where the person is subject to pending criminal charges. (NRS
28	28	178.620) Existing law also sets forth the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, which
29	29	establishes certain procedures governing the extradition to and from this State of a
30	30	person who has been charged with a crime or who has been alleged to have escaped
31	31	from confinement or broken the terms of the person’s bail, probation or parole.
32	32	(NRS 179.177-179.235) Because persons who transport persons from this State to
33	33	another state, from another state to this State or through this State are private patrol
34	34	officers for the purposes of existing law governing the licensure of private patrol
35	35	officers by the Private Investigator’s Licensing Board, such persons are required to
36	36	obtain a license from the Board and employees of such persons are required to be
37	37	registered with the Board. (NRS 648.013, 648.060, 648.063, 648.1493, 648.203)
38	38	This bill exempts from the provisions of existing law governing the licensure
39	39	and regulation of private investigators and related professions by the Private
40	40	Investigator’s Licensing Board any person, or any employee thereof, who is
41	41	engaged exclusively in the business of transporting persons: (1) from this State to
42	42	another state, from another state to this State or through this State for the purpose of
43	43	a temporary transfer of custody pursuant to the Agreement on Detainers or
44	44	extradition pursuant to the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act; or (2) within this
45	45	State for the purpose of a temporary or permanent transfer of the custody of a
46	46	person from one state or local governmental agency to another.
