AN ACT relating to victims of crime; requiring a law enforcement
agency to furnish a free copy of all reports of the law
enforcement agency concerning an act that constitutes
domestic violence under certain circumstances; and
providing other matters properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law requires a law enforcement agency to furnish a free, complete and 1
unaltered copy of all reports of the law enforcement agency concerning a sexual 2
assault upon written request by the survivor of the sexual assault. Under existing 3
law, a law enforcement agency: (1) must furnish any such report within 1 month 4
after receiving a written request by a survivor; and (2) may, as appropriate, redact 5
personal identifying information from any such report. (NRS 178A.280) This bill: 6
(1) imposes a similar requirement on a law enforcement agency that receives a 7
written request from a victim of domestic violence; and (2) authorizes the law 8
enforcement agency to redact personal identifying information under similar 9
circumstances. 10
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, REPRESENTED IN
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Chapter 217 of NRS is hereby amended by adding 1

enforcement agency shall, upon written request by a victim of 4
domestic violence, furnish within 1 month, free, complete and 5
unaltered copies of all reports of the law enforcement agency 6
concerning the domestic violence, regardless of whether the report 7
