AN ACT relating to criminal procedure; providing that the

providing other matters properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law provides that the interception, listening or recording of a wire, 1
electronic or oral communication by a peace officer or certain other persons is not 2
unlawful if the peace officer or person is intercepting the communication of a 3
person who has: (1) barricaded himself or herself, resulting in an imminent risk of 4
harm to the life of another person; (2) created a hostage situation; or (3) threatened 5
the imminent illegal use of an explosive. (NRS 179.463, 200.620) Sections 3 and 6 6
of this bill similarly provide that the interception, listening or recording of a wire, 7
electronic or oral communication by a peace officer or certain persons acting under 8
the direction or request of a peace officer is not unlawful if the peace officer or 9
person is intercepting the communication for the sole purpose of investigating a 10
sexual offense against a child. Section 2 of this bill defines the term “sexual offense 11
against a child” for purposes of section 3 and certain other provisions of existing 12
law relating to the interception of communications. Section 4 of this bill makes 13
certain definitions prescribed by existing law applicable to sections 2 and 3. 14
Section 5 of this bill makes a conforming change by eliminating certain language 15
made redundant by section 2. 16
