Compared against the Nevada Revised Statutes as published AI-generated reading aid — verify against the official bill.

The bill adds a new prohibition against requiring peace officers to issue a certain number of traffic citations or make arrests and modifies the inadmissibility of evidence rules in investigations involving such mandates.

  • A law enforcement agency shall not order, mandate or require a peace officer to issue a certain number of traffic citations or make a certain number of arrests over any period.

    This new provision prohibits law enforcement agencies from imposing citation or arrest quotas on peace officers.

  • NRS 289.085

    If an arbitrator or court determines that evidence was obtained during an investigation of a peace officer concerning conduct that could result in punitive action in a manner which violates any provision of NRS 289.010 to 289.120, inclusive, and section 1 of this act, and that such evidence may be prejudicial to the peace officer, such evidence is inadmissible and the arbitrator or court shall exclude such evidence during any administrative proceeding commenced or civil action filed against the peace officer. → If an arbitrator or court determines that evidence was obtained during an investigation of a peace officer concerning conduct that could result in punitive action in a manner which violates any provision of NRS 289.010 to 289.120, inclusive, and section 1 of this act, and that such evidence may be prejudicial to the peace officer, such evidence is inadmissible and the arbitrator or court shall exclude such evidence during any administrative proceeding commenced or civil action filed against the peace officer. If the arbitrator or court further determines that such evidence was obtained by a law enforcement agency in bad faith, the arbitrator or court must dismiss the administrative proceeding or civil action with prejudice.

    This change clarifies the circumstances under which evidence is inadmissible and adds a provision for dismissal with prejudice if the evidence is obtained in bad faith.
