Revises provisions relating to certain traffic violations. (BDR 43-161)
AB 111 changes penalties for driving violations on divided highways in Nevada. It revises Nevada Revised Statute 484B.227 to make violations - such as driving over a highway divider, barrier, or making unauthorized turns - criminal misdemeanors instead of civil infractions. This directly affects drivers who commit these specific traffic violations, subjecting them to criminal charges rather than standard traffic tickets. The law maintains existing driving rules but elevates the penalty level, with misdemeanor convictions carrying potential jail time or fines beyond standard traffic penalties.
