Chapter 33 - Injunctions; Protection Orders
NRS 33.640 - Expiration, dissolution and renewal of order.

1. The family or household member or law enforcement officer who filed the verified application pursuant to NRS 33.560 or the adverse party may request in writing to appear and move for the dissolution of an emergency or extended order. Upon a finding by clear and convincing evidence that the adverse party no longer poses a risk of causing a self-inflicted injury or a personal injury to another person by possessing, controlling, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any firearm, the court shall dissolve the order. If all parties stipulate to dissolve the order, the court shall dissolve the order upon a finding of good cause.

2. Upon the expiration or dissolution of an emergency or extended order, the court shall:

(a) Order the return of any firearm surrendered by the adverse party;

(b) Provide a copy of the order to:

(1) The adverse party; and

(2) The law enforcement agency holding any such surrendered firearm; and

(c) Cause, on a form prescribed by the Department of Public Safety, a record of the expiration or dissolution of the order to be transmitted to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History to ensure that information concerning the adverse party is removed from the Central Repository.

3. Not less than 3 months before the expiration of an extended order and upon petition by a family or household member or law enforcement officer, the court may, after notice and a hearing, renew an extended order upon a finding by clear and convincing evidence. Such an order expires within a period, not to exceed 1 year, as the court fixes.
