Bill overview
This bill makes several changes to how Nevada handles drivers and traffic infractions. It simplifies the process for contesting civil infraction citations by allowing counsel to represent defendants and eliminating the requirement for a pre-hearing bond. It also consolidates criminal and civil infraction cases, clarifies payment procedures for fines, and adjusts rules regarding speeding violations and driver responsibilities after crashes. Finally, it removes a requirement for prosecuting attorneys to elect to treat certain traffic offenses as civil infractions.
