Within the subsection of Chapter 202 of Title 15, there are many different statutes defining behavior that can be considered terrorism and establishing specific penalties for terrorism-related offenses. One of the key statutes that are important to understanding what a prosecutor must prove in terrorism cases is Nevada Revised Statute section 202.4439. N.R.S. 202.4439 is the statute that defines terrorism for purposes of Nevada laws on terrorism.
According to N.R.S. 202.4439, a terrorist is defined as a person who intentionally commits an act of terrorism. A terrorist also includes a person who intentionally causes an act of terrorism to be committed, who aids an act of terrorism, who furthers an act of terrorism or who conceals an act of terrorism. A person who attempts to cause, aid, further, commit or conceal an act of terrorism can also be considered to be a terrorist.
To determine if you fit the definition of terrorism, you also need to understand what an act of terrorism is. An act of terrorism is defined in N.R.S. 202.4415 to include any action involving the use, or the attempted use of, sabotage, coercion or violence that’s intended to cause death or great bodily harm to the general population or that is intended to cause substantial destruction, contamination, or impairment of buildings, infrastructure, natural resources, utilities, services, transportation, or the environment.

These definitions apply when determining if you can be found guilty of acts of terrorism under N.R.S. 202.445 or if you can be found guilty of other terrorism offenses defined in Chapter 202 of Title 15.

Under N.R.S. 202.445, it’s illegal to knowingly or intentionally commit acts of terrorism, cause acts of terrorism to be committed, further acts of terrorism, conspire to commit or conceal acts of terrorism, or engage in a variety of other behaviors related to acts of terrorism.
