AB 91 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to parole. (BDR 16-500)

AB 91 allows the State Board of Parole Commissioners to grant "second look parole" to inmates convicted of Category A or B felonies who were under 25 years old when they committed their crimes. To qualify, individuals must have served at least 15 years (Category B) or 25 years (Category A) of their minimum prison term, not pose a public safety risk, and meet other criteria. The bill expands eligibility from the current 18-year-old cutoff to 25 years old for parole consideration. It also establishes a process for submitting applications with supporting documentation, including medical records and parole plans. The changes apply to offenses committed on or after January 1, 2026.

MODERATE
This bill revision expands eligibility for second look review by removing the distinction between Category A and B felonies and lowering the minimum service requirement from 15-25 years to a uniform 10 years for all eligible prisoners. It also adds a new requirement that applicants must not have been sentenced to death, which was previously only mentioned for Category A felons. These changes make the review process more accessible to a broader range of prisoners while maintaining public safety safeguards.
Scope change
The bill now applies uniformly to both Category A and B felony convictions, whereas the previous version differentiated between the two categories with different service requirements.
