AN ACT relating to public safety; authorizing the installation and
use of an automated traffic enforcement system by a
governmental entity under certain circumstances; setting
forth the requirements for the installation and use of an
automated traffic enforcement system; establishing
provisions governing the issuance of a civil infraction
citation based on evidence detected by an automated

Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law prohibits a governmental entity or any agent thereof from using 1
photographic, video or digital equipment to gather evidence in order to issue a 2
traffic citation or civil infraction citation, unless the equipment is: (1) a portable 3
camera or event recording device worn or held by a peace officer; (2) installed 4
within a vehicle or facility of a law enforcement agency; or (3) privately owned by 5
a nongovernmental entity. (NRS 484A.600) Sections 2 and 3 of this bill create an 6
exception to this prohibition, authorizing a governmental entity to allow for the 7
– 2 –
- *SB415*
installation and use of an automated traffic enforcement system to enforce 8
provisions of law governing speeding and obedience to traffic-control devices 9
under certain circumstances. Specifically, section 2 requires the governmental 10
entity to: (1) make certain findings about the location where the automated traffic 11
enforcement system will be installed; (2) provide for or undertake a public 12
information campaign about the automated traffic enforcement system; and (3) 13
comply with certain regulations required to be adopted by the Department of 14
Transportation related to automated traffic enforcement system and warning signs. 15
Section 7 of this bill requires the Advisory Committee on Traffic Safety to provide 16
recommendations to the Department related to these regulations. 17
If a governmental entity authorizes the installation and use of an automated 18
traffic enforcement system, section 2 requires a peace officer of a law enforcement 19
agency with jurisdiction over the location of the automated traffic enforcement 20
system to review the evidence of a violation detected by an automated traffic 21
enforcement system before a civil infraction citation is issued. Section 2 also 22
establishes requirements for the contents and delivery of the civil infraction citation 23
issued based upon evidence collected by an automated traffic enforcement system. 24
Section 2 creates a rebuttable presumption that the registered owner of a vehicle is 25
the driver of the vehicle at the time of a violation detected by an automated traffic 26
enforcement system and provides a method for rebutting this presumption. 27
Section 2 provides that a violation detected by an automated traffic 28
enforcement system is not a moving traffic violation but is punishable by a civil 29
penalty. Additionally, section 2 requires money received from such civil penalties 30
to be used for certain purposes related to defraying the costs of the automated 31
traffic enforcement system. Section 6 of this bill makes a conforming change 32
related to the deposit of money received from such civil penalties. 33
Sections 1, 4 and 5 of this bill make conforming changes to: (1) exclude traffic 34
violations detected by an automated traffic enforcement system from an assessment 35
of demerit points; and (2) provide for the issuance of a civil infraction citation for 36
violations detected by an automated traffic enforcement system. 37
Existing law prohibits an insurer from increasing insurance rates or cancelling 38
or refusing to renew an insurance policy if a juvenile court enters a conviction or 39
finding of certain violations relating to speeding. (NRS 690B.028) Section 8 of this 40
bill additionally prohibits a civil infraction citation issued for a violation detected 41
by an automated traffic enforcement system from being used for such purposes. 42

(b) A civil infraction citation issued for a violation detected by 1
an automated traffic enforcement system pursuant to section 2 of 2
this act. 3
2. The Department shall establish a uniform system of demerit 4
points for various traffic violations occurring within this State 5
affecting the driving privilege of any person who holds a driver’s 6
license issued by the Department and persons deemed to have future 7
driving privileges pursuant to NRS 483.447. The system must be 8
based on the accumulation of demerits during a period of 12 9
months. 10
3. The system must be uniform in its operation, and the 11
Department shall set up a schedule of demerits for each traffic 12
violation, depending upon the gravity of the violation, on a scale of 13

demerit points for an extremely serious violation of the law 15
governing traffic violations. If a conviction of two or more traffic 16
violations committed on a single occasion is obtained, points must 17
be assessed for one offense or civil infraction, and if the point values 18
differ, points must be assessed for the offense or civil infraction 19
having the greater point value. Details of the violation must be 20
submitted to the Department by the court where the conviction or 21
finding is obtained. The Department may provide for a graduated 22
system of demerits within each category of violations according to 23

Sec. 2. Chapter 484A of NRS is hereby amended by adding 25
thereto a new section to read as follows: 26

484A.7035 for a violation described in subsection 1 which was 14
detected by an automated traffic enforcement system, the evidence 15
of the violation from the automated traffic enforcement system 16
must be reviewed for accuracy by a peace officer of a law 17
enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the location of the 18
automated traffic enforcement system. 19

484A.7035 for a violation described in subsection 1 which was 21

by the law enforcement agency described in subsection 4 by first 23
class mail to the address listed with the Department for the 24
registered owner of the vehicle identified by the automated traffic 25
enforcement system. 26
6. In addition to the information required pursuant to 27
subsection 1 of NRS 484A.7035, a civil infraction citation issued 28
pursuant to NRS 484A.7035 for a violation described in subsection 29

enforcement system. Such a presumption may be rebutted if the 41
registered owner of the vehicle presents as evidence at a hearing 42
held pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 484A.704, an affidavit 43
stating: 44

citation by a peace officer pursuant to this subsection must not be 29

offenses kept at the traffic enforcement agency which employs that 31
officer. 32

for any violation of chapters 484A to 484E, inclusive, of NRS and 34

compare not only the driver’s name but also the number of his or her 37
driver’s license and physical description with any information 38
obtained from the agency as a result of the request. If the 39
information received from the agency indicates that the driver’s 40

lieu of a civil penalty, the court authorizes a person to successfully 33
complete a course of traffic safety approved by the Department of 34

a civil infraction citation to a nonmoving violation if the court 18
determines that any circumstances warrant such a reduction. 19
