Revises provisions relating to certain actions and proceedings. (BDR 3-447)

SB 67 revises Nevada law governing legal defense for state and local government employees, including judges, legislators, contractors, and other public officials. It changes the deadline for requesting defense from 15 days after being served with a lawsuit to 15 days after receiving service (or after a court confirms alternative service), and allows employees to hire their own lawyers at any time - ending the state’s duty to defend once they do, regardless of prior requests. The bill also updates special verdict requirements in civil cases involving the state, revises when the state must cover legal costs (indemnification), and permits indemnification for punitive damages in certain situations. Additionally, it adds new protections for public employers from liability for constitutional rights violations unless the employer was personally involved or had a strong causal connection to the violation.
