Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers

On July 8, 2025 Governor Lombardo held a ceremonial signing of SB279. SB279 amended NRS 289 to strengthen notice requirements for all law enforcement officers as described in section 289.060 and also codified the 48 hour advance notice requirement for witnesses. These changes were important to augment the due process protections that all officers receive under NRS 289 and prevent abuses that had been seen in some department IA bureaus. SB 279 passsed both houses of the legislature unanimously and was signed into law by the governor shortly afterwards. Special thanks to Senator Pazina for sponsoring the bill.

2025 Legislative Session

Thanks to the hard work of NAPSO Executive Director Andrew Regenbaum and NAPSO Legislative Director Rick McCann, Senate Bill 279 (SB 279) was passed unanimously by both the Assembly and Senate and signed into law by Governor Lombardo. This legislation was significant for the enhanced officer protections that it brought to NRS 289, particularly 289.060. Specifically, we changed the law to require that the investigative notices provided to peace officers must now include a specific statement of the alleged misconduct being investigated including the time, place and date of the alleged misconduct. The legislation also clarified that witness officers must be given the same 48 hour notice as a subject officer.
