Final reports of coroner death investigations are designated as public records, with authority for coroners to redact confidential, privileged, or unrelated information

Coroners may withhold records related to homicides or undetermined deaths until the coroner's investigation, law enforcement investigation, or related criminal case reaches final disposition

Autopsy photographs, postmortem imaging, fingerprints, biological specimens, medical records from third parties, coroner's notes, and incomplete reports are classified as confidential and not public records

Confidential materials may still be disclosed via subpoena or court order, released to next of kin as authorized by existing law, or shared at the coroner's discretion for scientific research, educational training, or governmental purposes

Applies to both sheriffs serving as ex officio coroners and county coroners appointed by ordinance under NRS 244.163; effective upon passage and approval
