AB 233 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to courts. (BDR 1-215)

AB 233 amends Nevada law to expand the jurisdiction of justices of the peace in criminal cases involving arrests made by the Nevada Highway Patrol. Previously, such cases were limited to the justice's own county, but this bill allows justices to handle cases across all neighboring counties that share a border. This directly affects justice courts, the Nevada Highway Patrol, and individuals arrested by the patrol in adjacent counties. The change specifically modifies NRS 4.370, subsection 7, without altering jurisdiction for other types of cases.
