Nevada’s Public Records Act (NPRA) mandates transparency, but for governmental employers, compliance is a high-stakes balancing act between public access and protecting legitimately confidential information. This valuable presentation provides POOL/PACT members with a practical, actionable roadmap for mitigating legal risk and ensuring proper adherence to NRS Chapter 239.

We will tackle the critical convergence point where public records duties intersect with employment law, covering the necessary protections for employee privacy, document retention policies, and the absolute imperative of issuing and managing litigation holds to prevent spoliation of evidence. We will also clarify the often-complex rules of engagement, addressing the key distinctions between public and confidential records, and detailing the specific, legitimate grounds—including statutory exemptions and the required balancing test—to withhold or redact information. You will learn how to effectively handle high-volume, vague, or overly burdensome requests that may qualify as "unreasonable."

Arm your team with the legal clarity needed to streamline your response process, navigate complex privacy issues, and defend against potential challenges in court.

Presented by Partner Anthony L. Hall and Associate Attorney Jonathan McGuire of Simons Hall Johnston PC
