Is the NRS Updated Yet?

No, LCB staff is hard at work codifing acts passed by the 2013 Legislature.  We do not expect to receive the 2013 Nevada Revised Statutes until November or December.  Supplements to Lexis' Michie's Nevada Revised Statutes Annotated and West's Nevada Revised Statutes Annotated should be available shortly thereafter.

In the meantime, update the 2011 NRS Reprint using the tables and indices available on the LCB's 2013 Bill Information page. 

If you prefer print, you can use the tables in the 2013 Statutes of Nevada advance sheets (REF KFN625 .A2 2013 and READY REF KFN625 .A2 2013). The bound 2013 Statutes of Nevada has not yet been published, and will be added to the collection as soon as it is available.

A word of caution:  don't think you can avoid updating by using Westlaw and Lexis.  Currently the NRS available on Lexis and Westlaw is the 2011 version, though there should be red Shepard's and KeyCite flags for those sections which have been amended.  Titles and chapters, however, are trickier and it is good practice to review the tables linked above.

Oh, and when you are done with the 2013 session, you can do it again with the tables for the 27th Special Session.

tl;dr:  no, use these tables to update the 2011 NRS.

Currency of Nevada Revised Statutes

The Nevada Legislature adjorned sine die on June 7, 2011 and all laws enacted by the legislature have been codified in the 2011 Reprint of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), which was published in November, 2011 and updated (2012 R1) in January, 2012.  The Supreme Court Library has three copies of the 2011 NRS Reprint, all of which are current.  The online version on the legislature's website is current through the 2012 R1 supp., although it is unannotated.

LexisNexis and West also publish versions of the Nevada Revised Statutes -- Michie's Nevada Revised Statutes Annotated (NRSA) and West's Nevada Revised Statutes Annotated (West's NRSA) -- and both are in the Library's collection.  Unfortunately, as of the date of this posting, neither is current through the 2011 session.  Our LexisNexis and West representatives have informed us they expect to ship the 2011 cumulative supplements (pocket parts) in mid-April, 2012.

Westlaw's Nevada Statutes database (NV-ST-ANN for all the Classic Westlaw users among us) is current through the the 2009 75th Regular Session and the 2010 26th Special Session of the Nevada Legislature.  There should be red KeyCite flags for any section that has been amended by the 2011 session and links to the Nevada Legislative Service (NV-LEGIS) database which contains the 2011 session laws.
