Terrorism offenses are defined in Title 15, Chapter 202, which is the chapter of Nevada’s code that defines crimes against public health and safety. There is a subcategory in Chapter 202 for terrorism related offenses and within this subcategory, N.R.S. 202.445 defines acts of terrorism and attempted acts of terrorism. N.R.S. 202.445 also establishes what exactly the penalties are for a defendant who has been convicted of an act of terrorism.
According to N.R.S. 202.445, it is prohibited to knowingly or intentionally commit an act of terrorism, to knowingly or intentionally cause an act of terrorism, or to attempt to commit or cause an act of terrorism.
