Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 209
Here’s what’s currently in Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 209—which governs certain aspects of offender financial operations and institutional charges under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections. It was fully revised and adopted effective September 16, 2024 (R097‑24A):
📌 NAC Ch. 209: Sections Overview
§ 209. Sec. 2 – Commissary Markups
The Department, or an authorized vendor, may not apply markups on commissary hygiene items. For other commissary goods, markups are capped as follows:
Clothing: 35%
Food: 35%
Religious items: 10%
Vending machine items: 35% (law.cornell.edu, law.cornell.edu)
§ 209. Sec. 3 – (Details not surfaced in search; likely procedural or administrative)
Although listed, I couldn’t locate the exact text. It’s probably administrative in nature—common for §§ 205–209 to regulate Department of Corrections internal processes.
§ 209. Sec. 4 – Offender Account Deposit Fees
Specifies fees charged for deposits into an offender’s account, differentiated by method and amount:
General deposits (non–walk‑in): e.g., $2.50 for $0.01–$9.99 (cash) or $0.90 (card), scaling up to $7.95 (card) for $200–$300.
Walk‑in retail: flat $4.95 for $0.01–$300.
Bail postings: $5.00 plus either additional flat or percentage fees.
Also sets charges to offenders for account services—copying check ($2), monthly statements ($2), etc. (law.cornell.edu, hr.nv.gov)
§ 209. Sec. 5 – Reimbursements from Offender Accounts
Allows the Department to bill the offender’s account for costs including:
Medical care for injuries (self‑inflicted or voluntary recreation)
Damage to state property, bedding, personal items
Escape/search costs
Replacement bus tickets, birth certificates, legal supplies
It also sets fixed charges: cremation/burial ($950), drug testing ($8.50), health card ($35), legal photocopies ($0.10 each), replacement ID card ($5), and postage at USPS rates. (law.cornell.edu)
