AB 105 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing firearms. (BDR 15-64)

AB 105 prohibits firearm possession within 100 feet of election sites (including polling places, vote-counting locations, and ballot boxes) in Nevada, except for specific exceptions like law enforcement officers, security personnel, or individuals on private property within that zone. It requires election officials to post clear signage marking the 100-foot buffer zone and establishes penalties: a gross misdemeanor for most violations, or a felony if firearms are carried with intent to disrupt voting. The law directly affects voters, election workers, and anyone near polling locations during voting hours. Key provisions include the 100-foot buffer, mandatory signage, and exceptions for lawful firearm carriers traveling to or from private property within the zone.

MODERATE
This bill transforms from a pre-filed draft into an enacted law, adding specific requirements for election officials to post 'Distance Marker' signs at polling places to warn the public about firearm restrictions. It clarifies that the prohibition applies within 100 feet of an election site entrance and establishes an affirmative defense for individuals traveling through this zone solely to access or leave private property. The text also updates the official bill title and summary to reflect these new operational details and penalties.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from a general prohibition on firearms near election sites to include mandatory signage requirements for election officials and specific legal protections for people accessing private property near polling places.
REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement for county, registrar, or city clerks to post specific 'Distance Marker' signs at election sites to notify the public of firearm prohibitions.

DEFINITION

Added a formal definition of 'election site' to include polling places, central counting places, and locations with ballot boxes or drop boxes.

ENFORCEMENT

Added an affirmative defense allowing individuals to avoid penalties if they were traveling within 100 feet of an election site solely to access or depart from private property.

TECHNICAL

Converted the document from a 'Reprint' draft to the 'As Enrolled' final version, updating headers, page numbers, and the Legislative Counsel's Digest.
