Legislative declaration of purpose
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares that the handling of persons with an alcohol use disorder within the criminal justice system is ineffective, whereas treating an alcohol use disorder as a health problem allows its prevention and treatment and relieves law enforcement agencies of a large and inappropriate burden. The provisions of NRS 458.250 to 458.280 , inclusive, are intended to provide for the prevention of alcohol use disorders and the treatment of persons with an alcohol use disorder. The provisions of NRS 458.250 to 458.280 , inclusive, are further intended to transfer the handling of public intoxication from statutes providing criminal sanctions, including, without limitation, loitering and vagrancy, to statutes providing for civil protective custody. To accomplish these purposes, the Department of Health and Human Services shall continue to direct itself to the problem of alcohol use disorders at large, attempting to combat the problem at the community level.

If an anatomical gift has been or might be made of a part of a decedent whose body is under the jurisdiction of the coroner and a postmortem examination is not required, or the coroner determines that a postmortem examination is required but that the recovery of the part that is the subject of an anatomical gift will not interfere with the examination, the coroner and procurement organization shall cooperate in the timely removal of the part from the decedent for the purpose of transplantation, therapy, research or education.

After consultation, the coroner or designee may allow the recovery by the procurement organization to proceed and may attend and witness all procedures before, during and after removal of the part.

10.
