SB 60 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing crimes committed against older or vulnerable persons. (BDR 15-342)

SB 60 expands penalties for crimes committed against older adults (60+ years) or vulnerable persons in Nevada. It adds specific theft crimes - such as controlling property with intent to deprive, unauthorized property conversion, and obtaining property through material misrepresentation - to the list requiring an extra prison term that runs consecutively with the main sentence. The bill also makes criminal deceptive trade practices against these groups subject to the same additional penalty and creates civil fines (up to $30,000 for repeat offenses) recoverable by the Attorney General. Proceeds from these fines fund victim compensation and a specialized unit investigating crimes against older or vulnerable people.
