Some criminal law bills pass; others languish
The regularly session of the legislature is coming to a close, with adjournment scheduled for June 4. Working on the holiday, the Nevada legislature yesterday approved a bill authorizing DNA collection for all felons. Current DNA collection had been limited to those convicted of violent or other serious felonies. AB92 expands collection to all, including non-violent property crimes. See the R-J’s report at "Collection of DNA from all felons wins OK ."
Meanwhile, prison and parole reform measures are less certain, as the R-J reports in "Lawmakers consider package of criminal justice reforms."
