May 18, 1989
Nevada's original genetic-marker collection law. Added a new section to NRS Chapter 176 (later NRS 176.0913) directing the court, upon conviction of a sexual offense, to order the defendant to submit to blood and saliva tests — including analysis of the blood's genetic markers and the saliva's secretor status — with results submitted to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History, and requiring the Central Repository to collect, maintain, and arrange those results. Approved May 18, 1989. Note: the National Registry narrative attributes the 1989 enactment to SB 276, Ch. 167; the session-law volume in the folder shows Ch. 167 (SB 276) is an unclaimed-property act and that the DNA/genetic-marker provisions were enacted by AB 165, Ch. 168.
