Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. If a child is adjudicated delinquent for an unlawful act listed in subsection 6 and the records relating to that unlawful act have not been sealed by the juvenile court pursuant to NRS 62H.130 before the child reaches 21 years of age, unless the records have not been sealed pursuant to subsection 6 of NRS 62H.130, those records must not be sealed before the child reaches 30 years of age.

2. After the child reaches 30 years of age, the child may petition the juvenile court for an order sealing those records.

3. If a petition is filed pursuant to this section, the juvenile court shall notify the district attorney and the chief probation officer or the Chief of the Youth Parole Bureau.

4. The district attorney and the chief probation officer or any of their deputies, the Chief of the Youth Parole Bureau or his or her designee, or any other person who has evidence that is relevant to consideration of the petition may testify at the hearing on the petition.

5. After the hearing on the petition, the juvenile court may enter an order sealing the records relating to the child if the juvenile court finds that, during the period since the child reached 21 years of age, the child has not been convicted of any offense, except for minor moving or standing traffic offenses.

6. The provisions of this section apply to any of the following unlawful acts:

(a) An unlawful act which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted:
