NRS 62E.505

Specific findings required before child is committed to certain facilities for detention or treatment and rehabilitation of children

(Added to NRS by 2017, 4387; A 2025, 265)

Before the juvenile court commits a delinquent child to the custody of a state facility for the detention of children or to the custody of a regional facility for the treatment and rehabilitation of children, the court must find that:

1. Appropriate alternatives that could satisfactorily meet the needs of the child do not exist in the community or were previously used to attempt to meet such needs and proved unsuccessful; and

2. The child poses a public safety risk based on the child’s risk of reoffending, as determined by a risk assessment conducted pursuant to NRS 62E.506, any history of delinquency and the seriousness of the offense committed by the child.
