Existing law requires the Department of Corrections to provide a woman who is incarcerated access to certain necessary medical and behavioral health care services. (NRS 209.3817) Section 1 of this bill requires that any such access be provided in accordance with community standards of care and national guidelines for the provision of such services. Section 1 also removes specific language requiring this access to include an annual pelvic examination and mammography, thereby requiring the Department to provide a woman who is incarcerated access to a pelvic examination and mammography in accordance with community standards of care and national guidelines for the provision of pelvic examinations and mammography, rather than on an annual basis. Existing law contains the Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, which provides the manner in which notarial acts must be performed, including that a notarial officer determine, from personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence, that a person is the person whose signature is on a document. (NRS 240.161-240.169, 240.1655) Section 5 of this bill provides that a notarial officer has satisfactory evidence that a person who is incarcerated in the state prison is the person whose signature is on a document if the person is identified upon the basis of: (1) an inmate identification card that is issued by the Department in accordance with regulations adopted by the Department and includes the name and a picture of the person; or (2) a declaration signed by the person under penalty of perjury attesting to his or her identity. Existing law: (1) requires the Director of the Department to establish and administer a program of regimental discipline to be used as an alternative to incarceration; and (2) authorizes a court to order certain defendants to undergo the program as an alternative to incarceration. (NRS 176A.630, 176A.770, 176A.780, 209.356) Sections 4 and 6 of this bill repeal this requirement and authorization. Sections 2 and 3 of this bill make conforming changes by removing references to a provision repealed by section 6.
