The Nevada Board of State Prison Commissioners took three procedural actions during the June 13 meeting: acceptance of prior meeting minutes, approval of a regulatory change to custody categories, and adjournment.
Attorney General Ford moved to approve the March 26, 2025 meeting minutes; the motion carried on a voice vote. Later, Director Zarenda presented proposed changes to administrative regulation 5.21 (custody categories and criteria). The two changes were described as: (1) formally define the ‘‘high risk potential’’ (HRP) classification—including criteria and the process to be placed on or removed from HRP—and (2) remove the term ‘‘high minimum security,’’ which the department said is unused in practice. Attorney General Ford moved approval of the items (a and b were identified as separate), members voted ‘‘aye’’ and the motion passed.
At the meeting’s close, a motion to adjourn was moved and approved.
Record of actions:
- Motion: Approve minutes of 03/26/2025. Moved by Attorney General Ford; outcome: passed (voice vote).
- Motion: Approve administrative regulation 5.21 (separate items a and b). Moved by Attorney General Ford; outcome: passed (voice vote). The change formalizes HRP and removes the unused term "high minimum security."
- Motion: Adjourn. Moved by Attorney General Ford; outcome: passed (voice vote).
Next steps: The board will receive updated reports and follow-up on corrective actions and program metrics at subsequent meetings.
