NV SB432

Repeals NRS 125.080, which required automatic closure of divorce proceedings upon either party's demand, following the Nevada Supreme Court's 2024 ruling in Falconi v. Eighth Judicial District Court that the statute was unconstitutional for lacking judicial discretion.

Establishes that family law proceedings are presumptively open, but grants courts discretion to close proceedings or portions thereof upon finding closure necessary to serve a compelling interest, such as protecting children's welfare or preventing harassment.

Creates a tiered system for court record accessibility: certain records (summons, pleadings, orders, judgments) remain publicly accessible, while sensitive records (financial disclosures, child custody evaluations, medical records) are confidential unless a court orders otherwise.

Makes transcripts and recordings of closed proceeding portions confidential and restricted to parties, counsel, and necessary staff; prohibits distribution of such materials.

Creates a new category D felony for willfully posting or displaying another person's personal identifying information without consent when that information is required to be kept private under federal or state law.
