EXPLANATION – Matter in bolded italics is new; matter between brackets [omitted material] is material to be omitted.

AN ACT relating to public safety; authorizing the installation and
use of an automated traffic enforcement system by a
governmental entit y 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
traffic enforcement system; requiring the Department of
Transportation to adopt certain regulations; requiring the
Advisory Committee on Traffic Safety to provide certain
recommendations to the Department; prohibiting an
insurer from increasing rates for m otor vehicle insurance
under certain circumstances; and providing other matters
properly relating thereto.
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 installati on 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 viola tion 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 insur er 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
