Revises provisions relating to public mass transportation. (BDR 22-1066)
AB 361 requires regional transportation commissions in Nevada counties with populations over 100,000 (currently Clark and Washoe) to implement specific safety measures for transit operators. It mandates installing physical barriers to prevent passenger access to operator workspaces, panic buttons, and other safety technology, along with public signage detailing criminal penalties for assaulting transit operators. The bill defines "transit operator" as commercial bus drivers operating public mass transit systems under Nevada law. These requirements apply to existing transit systems in the specified counties and do not trigger additional expense limitations under existing law.

MODERATE
The bill text was updated from a 'Reprint' version to the final 'As Enrolled' version, removing the temporary header and summary notes while retaining the core legislative language. The substantive policy requirements remain unchanged, mandating that Nevada counties with populations of 100,000 or more install safety barriers and panic buttons for transit operators and post signage about penalties for attacks against them.
Scope change
No change in scope; the bill still applies to counties with a population of 100,000 or more.
TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Explanation' note regarding formatting conventions for new and omitted text.
Removed page number markers and internal tracking codes used in the draft version.
Replaced the draft-style line numbering (e.g., '1...', '2...') with the standard final enacted format.
