Revises provisions relating to regional transportation commissions. (BDR 22-743)
SB 290 amends Nevada law to expand security authority for regional transportation commissions. It authorizes security personnel to remove passengers engaging in conduct violating state law (such as using offensive language, refusing to pay fares, or ignoring health mandates). The bill also allows commissions to establish fines for unpaid fares or non-compliance with health/safety rules, and requires them to retain audio/video recordings of incidents involving staff injuries or disciplinary actions. Commissions must share such recordings with employee unions upon written request within 10 days of an incident.
