or (3) if neither of those circumstances is present, a gross misdemeanor. (NRS 6
200.471) Additionally, existing law provides that if a person commits a battery 7
upon an officer and the person knew or should have known that the victim was an 8
officer, the person is guilty of: (1) a category B felony if the battery causes 9
substantial bodily harm or is committed by strangulation; or (2) if those 10
circumstances are not present and no greater penalty is provided by law, a gross 11
misdemeanor. (NRS 200.481) Sections 1.3 and 1.7 of this bill revise the definition 12
of “officer” for the purposes of the enhanced penalties for assault or battery to 13
include an employee of this State or a political subdivision of this State whose 14
normal job responsibilities require the employee to: (1) interact with the public; and 15
(2) perform tasks related to child welfare service s or child protective services or 16
other tasks that expose the person to comparable danger. Additionally, sections 1.3 17
and 1.7 of this act apply the enhance d penalties to an assault or batter y committed 18
against a hospitality employee. 19
Existing law prohibits a person from stalking and prescribes various penalties 20
related to the circumstance under which the offense is committed. (NRS 200.575) 21
Section 2 of this bill expands the unlawful acts which constitute stalking to include 22
certain courses of conduct that would cause the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, 23
intimidated, harassed or fearful for the immediate safety of a person in a dating 24
relationship with the victim. Section 2 also makes various changes to provide that 25
stalking encompasses both acts committed in person and by electronic means, and 26
provides that such penalties are generally applicable to such acts regardless of 27
medium. Sections 50 and 63 of this bill make conforming changes related to the 28
commission of stalking by electronic means under section 2. 29
Existing law provides that a person who knowingly and willfully has in his or 30
her possession any film, photograph or other visual represent ation depicting a 31

of possession of pornography involving a minor. (NRS 200.730) Section 3 of this 34

person depicted under the age of 16 years in any film, photograph or other visual 36
presentation constitutes a separate offense. Section 41 of this bill makes a 37

existing law to sections 4, 30 and 51, respectively. 49
Existing law establishes certain crim es making it unlawful to take or obtain 50
property. (NRS 205.0821 -205.295) Section 29.1 of this bill creates a new crime 51
which provides that if a person intentionally causes property damage to a retail 52
establishment in the commission of a theft offense and t he aggregate value of the 53
amount involved in the theft or property damage, or any combination thereof, is 54
$750 or more, the person is guilty of a category C felony. 55

finding that: (1) certain persons committed a wrongdoing; or (2) there was not 64
probable cause under certain circumstances. 65
Existing law provides that if a child who is alleged to be delinquent is taken 66

section 35. 74
Existing law requires a juvenile court to suspend the license of a juvenile under 75
certain circumstances if a child is adjudicated to be in need of supervision because 76

176A.245, 176A.260, 176A.265, 176A.290, 176A.295) Sections 42, 44, 46 and 49 93
of this bill provide that the automatic record sealing provisions do not apply to such 94
persons who were charged with certain offenses related to the abuse or neglect of a 95
child or the abuse of an older or vulnerable person. 96
Existing law requires a court to release a ny bail at the time of sentencing, if the 97
court has not already done so, unless the defendant owes fines and costs, in which 98
case, the bail must be applied towards the fines and costs. (NRS 178.522, 178.528) 99
Section 56 of this bill provides that under thes e circumstances if the bail has been 100
