NRS174.519. Request for preference in setting date for trial where child is victim or witness; court may consider effect on child of delay in commencement of trial.

Latest version.

If the trial involves acts committed against a child less than 16 years of age or involving acts witnessed by a child less than 16 years of age, the prosecuting attorney shall request the court, in its discretion, to give preference in setting a date for the trial of the defendant. In making a ruling, the court may consider the effect a delay in the commencement of the trial might have on the mental or emotional health or well-being of the child.
