Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of private investigators, private patrol officers, process servers, repossessors, dog handlers, security consultants and polygraphic examiners by the Private Investigator's Licensing Board. (Chapter 648 of NRS) Existing law further requires an employee of a person licensed by the Board to be registered with the Board to perform any work regulated by the Board. (NRS 648.060, 648.1493, 648.203) Under existing law, Nevada has enacted the Agreement on Detainers, an interstate agreement setting forth certain procedures for the temporary transfer of custody of an incarcerated person from the state in which the person is incarcerated to another state where the person is subject to pending criminal charges. (NRS 178.620) Existing law also sets forth the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, which establishes certain procedures governing the extradition to and from this State of a person who has been charged with a crime or who has been alleged to have escaped from confinement or broken the terms of the person's bail, probation or parole. (NRS 179.177-179.235) Because persons who transport persons from this State to another state, from another state to this State or through this State are private patrol officers for the purposes of existing law governing the licensure of private patrol officers by the Private Investigator's Licensing Board, such persons are required to obtain a license from the Board and employees of such persons are required to be registered with the Board. (NRS 648.013, 648.060, 648.063, 648.1493, 648.203) This bill exempts from the provisions of existing law governing the licensure and regulation of private investigators and related professions by the Private Investigator's Licensing Board any person, or any employee thereof, who is engaged exclusively in the business of transporting persons: (1) from this State to another state, from another state to this State or through this State for the purpose of a temporary transfer of custody pursuant to the Agreement on Detainers or extradition pursuant to the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act; or (2) within this State for the purpose of a temporary or permanent transfer of the custody of a person from one state or local governmental agency to another.
