- Customers who are caught soliciting adults for prostitution (excluding cases involving children).
- State agencies responsible for managing sex offender registries and community notification systems.
Limits and unknowns
- The official text does not list specific prison times or fine amounts for these new classifications.
- The effective date of when these changes begin is not provided in the source material.
- The bill applies to crimes committed outside Nevada only if they match Nevada's laws or require registration elsewhere.
