EXPLANATION – Matter in bolded italics is new; matter between brackets [omitted material] is material to be omitted.

AN ACT relating to parole; authorizing the State Board of Parole
Commissioners to grant second look review to certain
persons; making certain persons convicted of certain
crimes committed when the person was less than 25 years
of age eligible for parole after serving a certain number of
years of incarceration; and providing other matters
properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law authorizes the State Board of Parole Commissioners to grant 1
geriatric parole to a person who is 65 years of age or older and meets certain 2
criteria. (NRS 213.12155) Section 1 of this bill likewise authorizes the Board to 3
grant second look review to a person convicted of a category A or B felony if the 4
person: (1) has not been sentenced to death; (2) does not pose a significant and 5
articulable risk to public safety; (3) has served not less than 10 years of the 6
minimum term or minimum aggregate term of imprisonment, as applicable, 7
imposed by the court; and (4) meets certain other criteria. Section 1 also prescribes: 8
(1) the procedure for initiating consideration for second look review; and (2) certain 9
requirements relating to scheduling and conducting a second look review hearing. 10
Finally, section 1 requires the Board to prescribe the terms and conditions of 11
release for a person for whom a second look review was conducted and provides 12
that any such person is under the supervision of the Division of Parole and 13
Probation of the Department of Public Safety. Section 2 of this bill makes a 14
conforming change to make certain existing definitions applicable to section 1. 15
Existing law makes a prisoner who was sentenced for certain offenses that were 16
committed when he or she was less than 18 years of age eligible for parole after the 17
prisoner has served: (1) 15 calendar years of incarceration, if the prisoner is 18
incarcerated for having been convicted of an offense that did not result in the death 19

of a victim; or (2) 20 calendar years of incarceration, if the prisoner is incarcerated 20
for having been convicted of an offense that resulted in the death of only one 21
victim. (NRS 213.12135) Section 3 of this bill makes a prisoner eligible for parole 22
under these conditions when the prisoner was sentenced for an offense that was 23
committed when he or she was less than 25 years of age, rather than 18 years of 24
age. 25
Section 4 of this bill provides that the amendatory provisions of sections 1 and 26
3 apply to an offense committed before, on or after January 1, 2026. 27
