                      on Public Safety and Security
                                CHAPTER..........
AN ACT relating to public office; authorizing a public officer to
    request that certain personal information contained in the
    records of the Secretary of State, a county or city clerk,
    county recorder or county assessor be kept confidential;
    authorizing a candidate or public officer to use campaign
    contributions to pay for expenses relating to personal
    security; authorizing a public officer to request that the
    Department of Motor Vehicles display an alternate address
    on the person’s driver’s license, commercial driver’s license
    or identification card; providing penalties; and providing
    other matters properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
     Existing law authorizes certain persons and the spouse, domestic partner or
minor child thereof, to request a court order to require that the Secretary of State, a
county or city clerk, county recorder or county assessor maintain the personal
information of the person contained in their records in a confidential manner. A
person who wishes to have such personal information be kept confidential is
required to obtain an order of a court, based on a sworn affidavit by the person,
requiring the Secretary of State, a county or city clerk, county recorder or county
assessor to maintain the personal information in a confidential manner. The
Secretary of State, a county or city clerk, county recorder or county assessor is
authorized to provide such confidential information for use in certain limited
circumstances and to deny a request for confidential information if he or she
reasonably believes that the information may be used in an unauthorized manner.
(NRS 247.500-247.600, 250.100-250.230, 293.900-293.920) Sections 3, 8 and 9 of
this bill add public officers to the lists of people authorized to request that personal
information contained in the records of the Secretary of State, a county or city
clerk, county recorder or county assessor be kept confidential.
     Existing law requires a candidate for an elected office to file a declaration of
candidacy and declaration of residency with the appropriate filing officer. Existing
law provides that the declaration of candidacy and declaration of residency are a
public record which must be made available to the public in electronic format.
Existing law also requires the filing officer to retain a copy of the proof of identity
and residency provided by the candidate and prohibits the copy from being
withheld from the public. (NRS 293.177, 293.181, 293C.185) Sections 1, 2 and 4
of this bill provide that any information required to be kept confidential by the
Secretary of State or county or city clerk pursuant to a court order obtained from an
authorized person who has requested his or her personal information be maintained
in a confidential manner is an exception to these requirements.
     Existing law authorizes certain persons to request that the Department of Motor
Vehicles display an alternate address on the person’s driver’s license, commercial
driver’s license or identification card. (NRS 481.091) Section 10 of this bill
additionally authorizes any public officer to make such a request.
     Existing law makes it unlawful for a candidate or public officer to spend money
received as a contribution for his or her “personal use,” which is defined as any use
of contributions to fulfill a commitment, obligation or expense of a candidate or

public officer that would exist irrespective of his or her campaign or public office,
as applicable. (NRS 294A.011, 294A.160) Section 5 of this bill provides that
expenses related to personal security are a campaign expense. Section 6 of this bill
provides that “personal use” of campaign contributions does not include, without
limitation, the use of contributions to fulfill a commitment, obligation or expense
for personal security incurred in direct connection to the campaign of a candidate or
public office of a public officer. Section 7 of this bill requires that expenses related
to personal security be reported on campaign finance reports as a campaign
expense.

declaration of candidacy pursuant to subsection 2 must be the street
address of the residence where the candidate actually, as opposed to
constructively, resides in accordance with NRS 281.050, if one has
been assigned. The declaration of candidacy must not be accepted
for filing if the candidate fails to comply with the following
provisions of this subsection or, if applicable, the provisions of
subsection 4:
    (a) The candidate shall not list the candidate’s address as a post
office box unless a street address has not been assigned to his or her
residence; and
    (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the candidate
shall present to the filing officer:
       (1) A valid driver’s license or identification card issued by a

   -  36th Special Session (2025)
                                  –6–
because a street address has not been assigned to the candidate’s
residence or because the rural or remote location of the candidate’s
residence makes it impracticable to present the proof of residency
required by subsection 3, the candidate shall present to the filing
officer:
    (a) A valid driver’s license or identification card issued by a
governmental agency that contains a photograph of the candidate;
and
    (b) Alternative proof of the candidate’s residential address that
the filing officer determines is sufficient to verify where the
candidate actually, as opposed to constructively, resides in

candidate’s residential address that the filing officer may accept to
verify where the candidate actually, as opposed to constructively,
resides in accordance with NRS 281.050.

    (b) Must not contain the social security number, driver’s license
or identification card number or account number of the candidate.
    6. By filing the declaration of candidacy, the candidate shall be
deemed to have appointed the filing officer for the office as his or
her agent for service of process for the purposes of a proceeding
pursuant to NRS 293.182. Service of such process must first be
attempted at the appropriate address as specified by the candidate in
the declaration of candidacy. If the candidate cannot be served at
that address, service must be made by personally delivering to and
leaving with the filing officer duplicate copies of the process. The
filing officer shall immediately send, by registered or certified mail,
one of the copies to the candidate at the specified address, unless the
candidate has designated in writing to the filing officer a different
address for that purpose, in which case the filing officer shall mail
the copy to the last address so designated.
    7. [A] Except for any information required to be kept
confidential pursuant to NRS 293.906, a declaration of candidacy
filed pursuant to this section is a public record and the filing officer
shall make the declaration of candidacy available to the public in an
electronic format.

a candidate has been convicted of a felony and has not had his or her
civil rights restored, the filing officer:

candidate has had his or her civil rights restored; and
    (b) Shall transmit the credible evidence and the findings from
such investigation to the Attorney General, if the filing officer is the
Secretary of State, or to the district attorney, if the filing officer is a
person other than the Secretary of State.
    9. The receipt of information by the Attorney General or
district attorney pursuant to subsection 8 must be treated as a
challenge of a candidate pursuant to subsections 4 and 5 of NRS
293.182 to which the provisions of NRS 293.2045 apply.
