AB 93 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to public employees. (BDR 53-160)

AB 93 expands Nevada's definition of "police officer" to include school police officers, juvenile probation officers, municipal court bailiffs/deputy marshals, city marshals/deputy marshals, and all category I peace officers. This change directly affects these public safety workers by extending their eligibility for specific benefits and exemptions previously limited to traditional police officers. Key provisions include applying existing industrial insurance coverage, jury exemption, disability compensation, and survivor benefit programs (under NRS 6.020, 281.153, 287.021, and 287.0477) to the newly included roles. The bill also clarifies that departmental designations used by the Department of Public Safety do not exclude eligible employees from this expanded definition. This is a policy change to align benefits with current public safety roles, not a new benefit creation.
