SB 347 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to mental health crisis holds. (BDR 39-8)

SB 347 requires law enforcement officers to immediately confiscate firearms owned or possessed by individuals placed on a mental health crisis hold in Nevada (typically lasting up to 72 hours). Officers must provide a receipt describing the firearm and a notice of return procedures at the time of confiscation. The bill also mandates that mental health facilities provide release-day notices about firearm return processes and inform law enforcement of the release. Within 30 days of release, law enforcement must file a court petition to determine if returning the firearm would pose a serious safety risk, with courts able to order retention, sale, or destruction if harm is likely. This bill directly affects individuals temporarily detained under mental health crisis holds and establishes a standardized process for firearm handling during these incidents.
