under certain circumstances; effect of mutual orders; enforcement; effect of
not registering order or including order in repository or database; immunity.
1. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 2, an order for protection against domestic violence issued by the
court of another state, territory or Indian tribe within the United States,
including, without limitation, any provisions in the order related to custody
and support, is valid and must be accorded full faith and credit and enforced
by the courts of this state as if it were issued by a court in this state,
regardless of whether the order has been registered in this state, if the court
in this state determines that:
(a) The issuing court had jurisdiction over the
parties and the subject matter under the laws of the State, territory or Indian
tribe in which the order was issued; and
(b) The adverse party was given reasonable notice
and an opportunity to be heard before the order was issued or, in the case of
an ex parte order, the adverse party was given reasonable notice and an
opportunity to be heard within the time required by the laws of the issuing
state, territory or tribe and, in any event, within a reasonable time after the
order was issued.
2. If the order for protection against
domestic violence issued by the court of another state, territory or Indian
tribe is a mutual order for protection against domestic violence and:
(a) No counter or cross-petition or other
pleading was filed by the adverse party; or
(b) A counter or cross-petition or other pleading
was filed and the court did not make a specific finding of domestic violence by
both parties,
Ê the court
shall refuse to enforce the order against the applicant and may determine
whether to issue its own temporary or extended order.
3. A law enforcement officer shall enforce
an order for protection against domestic violence issued by the court of
another state, territory or Indian tribe and shall make an arrest for a
violation thereof in the same manner that a law enforcement officer would make
an arrest for a violation of a temporary or extended order issued by a court of
this state unless it is apparent to the officer that the order is not authentic
on its face. An officer shall determine that an order is authentic on its face
if the order contains:
(a) The names of the parties;
(b) Information indicating that the order has not
expired; and
(c) Information indicating that the court which
issued the order had legal authority to issue the order as evidenced by a
certified copy of the order, a file-stamped copy of the order, an authorized
signature or stamp of the court which issued the order or another indication of
the authority of the court which issued the order.
Ê An officer
may determine that any other order is authentic on its face.
4. In enforcing an order for protection
against domestic violence issued by the court of another state, territory or
Indian tribe or arresting a person for a violation of such an order, a law
enforcement officer may rely upon:
(a) A copy of an order for protection against
domestic violence that has been provided to the officer;
(b) An order for protection against domestic
violence that is included in the Repository for Information Concerning Orders
for Protection Against Domestic Violence pursuant to NRS
33.095 or in any national crime information database;
(c) Oral or written confirmation from a law
enforcement agency or court in the jurisdiction in which the order for
protection against domestic violence was issued that the order is valid and
effective; or
(d) An examination of the totality of the
circumstances concerning the existence of a valid and effective order for
protection against domestic violence, including, without limitation, the
statement of a person protected by the order that the order remains in effect.
5. The fact that an order has not been
registered or included in the Repository for Information Concerning Orders for
Protection Against Domestic Violence in the Central Repository for Nevada
Records of Criminal History pursuant to NRS 33.095
or in any national crime information database is not grounds for a law
enforcement officer to refuse to enforce the terms of the order unless it is
apparent to the officer that the order is not authentic on its face.
6. A court or law enforcement officer who
enforces an order for protection against domestic violence issued by the court
of another state, territory or Indian tribe based upon a reasonable belief that
the order is valid or who refuses to enforce such an order based upon a
reasonable belief that the order is not valid and the employer of such a law
enforcement officer are immune from civil and criminal liability for any action
taken or not taken based on that belief.
