SB 302 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to law enforcement. (BDR 20-112)

SB 302 allows Nevada county sheriffs to enter written agreements with specific federal agencies, enabling designated federal employees (whose primary role is enforcing federal laws) to enforce state or local laws within the sheriff's jurisdiction. The agreements must last no more than two years, specify which laws apply, identify federal positions covered, and outline revocation conditions. Federal employees covered under these agreements must obtain peace officer certification within six months (instead of the standard one year) and gain full peace officer powers only while performing duties under the agreement. This directly affects sheriffs, federal law enforcement personnel, and local communities where such enforcement occurs.
