Existing law: (1) prescribes certain requirements relating to the recording, retention and reporting of information concerning traffic stops made by law enforcement officers; and (2) in general, makes these requirements applicable during a period that ends on February 1, 2026. (NRS 484B.830, 484B.833) Sections 1 and 2 of this bill remove the prospective expiration of these requirements, thereby making permanent the requirements relating to the recording, retention and reporting of information concerning traffic stops made by law enforcement officers. Under existing law, one such requirement provides that each law enforcement agency that engages in traffic stops for which certain citations or warnings are issued must annually report to the Department of Public Safety certain information concerning such stops. (NRS 484B.830, 484B.833) Existing law authorizes the Department to contract with a third party to: (1) review all public information, including, without limitation, information reported to the Department by law enforcement agencies; and (2) conduct a statistical analysis of the data for the purpose of identifying patterns or practices of profiling. If the Department enters into such a contract, existing law requires a third party with whom the Department contracts to report the results of the statistical analysis to the Governor, the Department and the Chairs of the Senate and Assembly Standing Committees on Judiciary. (NRS 484B.837) Section 2.5 of this bill instead requires that any such report be submitted to the Governor, the Department and: (1) if the report is prepared during an even-numbered year, the next regular session of the Legislature; or (2) if the report is prepared during an odd-numbered year, the Joint Interim Standing Committee on the Judiciary.
