Requests that the Nevada Supreme Court study and adopt rules governing procedures for notifying defendants and persons who are issued a civil infraction citation of certain information. (BDR S-535)

AB 218 requires Nevada courts to establish text message notification systems for criminal defendants, people issued civil citations (such as traffic tickets), and juveniles in court. The law mandates three pre-court date reminders (7, 3, and 1 days prior), allows users to opt in/out or update contact information, and requires courts to collect valid phone numbers during arrests or citations. The Court Administrator must convene a working group to study best practices and submit annual reports on program implementation. This affects anyone involved in court proceedings needing case notifications, directly changing how courts communicate with these individuals.
