Bill overview
This bill modifies Nevada’s laws regarding firearm discharge. It removes the requirements of ‘malice’ and ‘wantonness’ for the misdemeanor offense of negligently discharging a firearm, simplifying the charge. It also increases penalties for willfully discharging a firearm in populated areas designated for weapon restrictions or where people are endangered, potentially classifying such offenses as felonies. Finally, it adjusts the punishments for juvenile offenders convicted of handling or possessing firearms, increasing community service requirements and license suspension durations for repeat offenses.
