(NRS 179A.075)

Existing law requires the Director of the Department of Public Safety to establish a program within the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History to compile and analyze data concerning the recidivism of offenders who commit sexual offenses and to assess the effectiveness of certain programs for the treatment of juvenile sex offenders. Section 25 of this bill repeals those provisions of existing law.

Section 15.9 of this bill requires the Division of Child and Family Services of the Department of Health and Human Services to provide certain information collected by the Division concerning acts committed by a child adjudicated delinquent to the Director of the Department rather than to the Central Repository for use in the program established pursuant to sections 15.3, 15.5 and 15.7 of this bill.

(NRS 432.200)
Section 25 of this bill repeals the provisions which provide for the creation of the Repository for Information Concerning Missing Persons within the Central Repository and the provision of a toll-free telephone service concerning information about missing persons. (NRS 179A.400, 179A.410)

If an agency or political subdivision that wishes to request and receive information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning a person pursuant to subsection 1 is required by federal law to comply with specific procedures to request and receive such information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
(a) The provisions of subsection 2 do not apply to the agency or political subdivision; and

2. A law enforcement agency which has jurisdiction over the investigation of an abducted child and which has obtained a warrant for the arrest of a person suspected in the childs disappearance or concealment shall immediately notify the National Crime Information Center for the entry into the Centers Wanted Person File of identifying and descriptive information concerning:
(a) The suspect; and

Κ The agency shall cross-reference information entered pursuant to this section with the National Crime Information Centers Missing Person File . [and with the Repository for Information Concerning Missing Persons within the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History.]
3. If a missing child is less than 16 years of age or has not been located within 30 days after a report is filed, the law enforcement agency that received the initial report shall : [, and the Division or the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History may:]

The Division and the Central Repository shall, upon receipt of the identifying information about the missing child, compare the information with the information that is on file concerning unidentified deceased children.] This subsection does not preclude the voluntary release of identifying information about the missing child by his parent or guardian at any time.
4. The parent or guardian of a child reported as missing shall promptly notify the appropriate law enforcement agency if the child is found or returned. The law enforcement agency shall then transmit that fact to the National Crime Information Center [, the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History] and the Clearinghouse.
5. Nothing in this section requires a law enforcement agency to activate the Statewide Alert System for the Safe Return of Abducted Children created by NRS 432.340.

CHAPTER 369
AN ACT relating to statutes; ratifying certain technical corrections made to sections of NRS; correcting the effective date of certain provisions, correcting and clarifying certain provisions and repealing certain provisions of Statutes of Nevada; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
[Approved: May 29, 2009]
Legislative Counsels Digest:
Section 1 of this bill corrects errors in the amendment of NRS 391.019 and 391.031 by sections 1 and 2, respectively, of chapter 151, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 264), at pages 501 and 503. Although sections 1 and 2 of S.B. 264 both contain amendatory provisions that are intended to expire by limitation and other amendatory provisions that are not intended to expire, section 5 of S.B. 264 would have inadvertently caused all those amendatory provisions to expire by limitation on June 30, 2011. To resolve this technical error, S.B. 264 has been revised as necessary to cause those amendments to NRS 391.019 and 391.031 that are not intended to expire by limitation to remain effective after that date.
Section 2 of this bill corrects an error in the amendment of NRS 645B.051 by section 4.8 of chapter 266, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 375), at page 954. Section 4.8 of A.B. 375, which contains an internal reference to section 1.8 of A.B. 375, the source of NRS 645B.0138, was inadvertently made to become effective before section 1.8 of A.B. 375 became effective. Section 13 of A.B. 375, which contains the effective dates for the provisions of that bill, has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error by causing sections 1.8 and 4.8 of A.B. 375 to become effective at the same time.
Section 3 of this bill corrects an error in the amendment of NRS 432B.3905, which was created by section 1 of chapter 274, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 147), at page 1003. Although the provisions of section 1 of A.B. 147 were subsequently amended by section 6 of A.B. 147, at page 1007, section 1 of A.B. 147 was inadvertently made to expire by limitation. Section 8 of A.B. 147, which contains the effective dates for the provisions of that bill, has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 4 of this bill corrects an error in chapter 286, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 53), at page 1050. Section 1 of A.B. 53 consisted solely of an amendment to that bill which had been withdrawn before its enactment and was not intended to take effect. Section 1 of A.B. 53 has therefore been deleted to correct this technical error.
Section 5 of this bill corrects an error in chapter 296, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 433), at page 1122. Section 3 of A.B. 433 amended NRS 372.750 to account for various changes to the provisions of NRS 360.247, as amended by section 2 of A.B. 433, regarding the disclosure of certain information by the Nevada Tax Commission. However, A.B. 433 inadvertently failed to amend NRS 374.755, which is substantially identical to NRS 372.750, in the same manner as NRS 372.750. A.B. 433 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 6 of this bill corrects an error in the amendment of NRS 361.106 by section 1 of chapter 354, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 110), at page 1722. Section 1 of A.B. 110, which was intended to repeal the provisions pursuant to which NRS 361.106 would have expired by limitation, appropriately repealed a provision pursuant to which an amendment to NRS 361.106 would have expired by limitation, but inadvertently failed to amend accordingly the provision pursuant to which the underlying provisions of NRS 361.106 would have expired by limitation. Section 1 of A.B. 110 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error by deleting the provision that would have caused the underlying provisions of NRS 361.106 to expire by limitation.
κ2009 Statutes of Nevada, Page 1848 (CHAPTER 369, AB 554)κ
Section 7 of this bill corrects errors in chapter 413, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 412), at page 1821. S.B. 412, which amended chapter 633 of NRS to allow the licensing of physicians assistants by the State Board of Osteopathic Medicine, inadvertently failed to amend accordingly former NRS 633.326 (now codified as NRS 633.307) and NRS 633.706 to ensure that such licensing complies with certain federal requirements relating to the enforcement of child support. S.B. 412 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 8 of this bill corrects an error in the amendment of NRS 392.420 by section 1 of chapter 414, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 354), at page 1870. Although the amendments contained in section 1 of A.B. 354 were carried forward into subsequent amendments by A.B. 354, that section was inadvertently made to expire by limitation. Section 5 of A.B. 354, which contains the effective dates for the provisions of that bill, has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 9 of this bill corrects an error in the amendment of the Fort Mohave Valley Development Law (formerly codified as NRS 321.480-321.536) by sections 2-9 of chapter 427, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 301), at pages 2002-2005. S.B. 301, which amended the former provisions of NRS 321.480-321.536 to transfer the power and responsibility to administer the Fort Mohave Valley Development Law from the Colorado River Commission of Nevada to the Board of County Commissioners of Clark County, inadvertently converted the Fort Mohave Valley Development Law into a special and local act, which thereby became inappropriate for inclusion in NRS. To correct this technical error and ratify the removal of these inappropriate provisions from NRS, S.B. 301 has been revised as necessary to provide for the enactment of sections 2-9 of S.B. 301 in the form of a special and local act and to repeal the superseded provisions of NRS 321.480-321.536.
Section 10 of this bill corrects an error in chapter 429, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 274), at page 2013. Although sections 3 and 4 of S.B. 274, the source of NRS 533.481 and 533.482, respectively, authorize the State Engineer to take various actions to enforce all the provisions of chapter 533 of NRS, S.B. 274 inadvertently failed to amend NRS 533.430 accordingly to clarify the applicability of sections 3 and 4 of S.B. 274 to the holders of certain permits and certificates issued under that chapter. S.B. 274 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 11 of this bill corrects errors in sections 11 and 12 of chapter 433, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 497), at page 2051, the source of NRS 209.517 and 213.12185, respectively. Although section 11 of A.B. 497 relates solely to offenders under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and section 12 of A.B. 497 relates solely to prisoners under the supervision of the Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety, each of these sections inadvertently included general references to a driver. Additionally, each of these sections contained a provision that was inconsistent with subsection 1 of NRS 483.460, as amended by section 2 of A.B. 497, at page 2045. Sections 11 and 12 of A.B. 497 have therefore been revised as necessary to correct these technical errors by replacing the general references to a driver with the appropriate terminology and by deleting the erroneous provisions.
Section 12 of this bill corrects an error in section 40.4 of chapter 480, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 242), at page 2637, the source of NRS 77.420. Although S.B. 242 was intended to cause the provisions of chapter 77 of NRS (the Model Registered Agents Act) to become effective on July 1, 2008, subsection 3 of section 40.4 of S.B. 242 inadvertently contained an erroneous reference to July 1, 2007. Section 40.4 of S.B. 242 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error by replacing the incorrect reference with July 1, 2008.
κ2009 Statutes of Nevada, Page 1849 (CHAPTER 369, AB 554)κ
Section 13 of this bill corrects errors in chapter 486, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 584), at page 2781. In particular, this section:
1. Corrects errors in the creation of NRS 484.379778 by section 22 of A.B. 584, at page 2793, which established a new criminal offense for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a controlled or prohibited substance. Although section 25 of A.B. 584 amended NRS 484.3792 to impose the same penalties for the commission of that offense as for the commission of a similar offense under NRS 484.379, A.B. 584 inadvertently failed to add to various statutory provisions the internal references to section 22 of A.B. 584 required for consistency with the imposition of those penalties. To correct this technical error, A.B. 584 has been revised as necessary to add the appropriate internal references to NRS 483.410, paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of NRS 483.460, subsection 2 of NRS 483.460, NRS 483.461, 483.910 and 484.348, paragraph (e) of subsection 2 of NRS 484.3792, as created by section 2 of chapter 288, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 277), at page 1060, NRS 484.37937, 484.37943, 484.37955, 488.460, 4.355, 62A.220, 62E.620, 62E.640, 178.484, 179.245, 209.392, 209.4465, 453A.300, 629.065, 690B.029 and 706.8841, and section 1 of S.B. 277, at page 1058, which created NRS 484.37941.
2. Corrects an error in the repeal of NRS 483.345 by section 48 of A.B. 584, at page 2813. Although the provisions of NRS 483.345 were intended to remain effective until their replacement by certain regulations required by section 4 of A.B. 584, which amended NRS 483.340, sections 48 and 49 of A.B. 584 would have inadvertently caused the repeal of NRS 483.345 before section 4 of A.B. 584 was made to become effective. To correct this technical error, sections 48 and 49 of A.B. 584 have been revised as necessary to cause the repeal of NRS 483.345 to become effective when the provisions of section 4 of A.B. 584 become effective.
3. Corrects an error in the amendment of sections 21 and 22 of A.B. 584, at page 2793, both of which have been included in NRS 484.379778. Although the provisions of sections 21 and 22 of A.B. 584 were subsequently amended by sections 46 and 47, respectively, of A.B. 584, at page 2812, sections 21 and 22 of A.B. 584 were inadvertently made to expire by limitation. Section 49 of A.B. 584 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 14 of this bill corrects an error in chapter 492, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 440), at page 2844. Before its amendment by section 1 of A.B. 440, at page 2846, NRS 598D.040 defined home loan for the purposes of chapter 598D of NRS as a type of transaction that was subject to certain federal laws. Although section 1 of A.B. 440 expanded this definition to include transactions that are not subject to those federal laws, A.B. 440 inadvertently failed to amend accordingly NRS 598D.130, which required the security instrument for a home loan to include a notice that the home loan was subject to those federal laws. A.B. 440 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error by requiring such a notice only for home loans that are subject to those federal laws.
Section 15 of this bill corrects errors in the amendment of NRS 287.023, 287.043 and 287.0434 by sections 2, 6 and 8, respectively, of chapter 496, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 544), at pages 2869, 2872 and 2877, respectively. Although the amendments contained in each of these sections were carried forward into subsequent amendments by S.B. 544, each of these sections was inadvertently made to expire by limitation. Section 16 of S.B. 544, which contains the effective dates for the provisions of that bill, has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 16 of this bill corrects an error in chapter 497, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (S.B. 498), at page 2883. Section 1 of S.B. 498, the source of NRS 309.3395, authorizes an alternative procedure for the issuance of general obligations by a local improvement district. S.B. 498 inadvertently failed to amend NRS 309.360 accordingly to clarify the authority of a local improvement district to impose ad valorem taxes for the payment of those obligations. S.B. 498 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
κ2009 Statutes of Nevada, Page 1850 (CHAPTER 369, AB 554)κ
Section 17 of this bill corrects errors in the amendment of NRS 641A.231 and 641C.330, which were respectively created by sections 8 and 36 of chapter 515, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 424), at pages 3052 and 3063. Although the provisions of sections 8 and 36 of A.B. 424 were subsequently amended by sections 99.5 and 99.7, respectively, of A.B. 424, at pages 3094 and 3095, sections 8 and 36 of A.B. 424 were inadvertently made to expire by limitation. Section 101 of A.B. 424, which contains the effective dates for the provisions of that bill, has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
Section 18 of this bill corrects an error in section 21 of chapter 525, Statutes of Nevada 2007 (A.B. 510), at page 3196. Section 21 of A.B. 510, which contains transitory provisions regarding the applicability of various amendatory provisions of A.B. 510 regarding credits on terms of imprisonment, inadvertently failed to include a provision clarifying the prospective applicability of the amendatory provisions of section 6 of A.B. 510, which amended NRS 209.4475. Section 21 of A.B. 510 has therefore been revised as necessary to correct this technical error.
