AB 6 Nevada Assembly · 36th (2026) Special Session

Revises provisions governing public safety. (BDR 43-23)

AB 6 revises Nevada's school zone traffic regulations to enhance safety during school hours. It requires local governments and the Department of Transportation to clearly specify exact times when driving restrictions (like speed limits) apply in school zones, ensuring they don't cover the 30 minutes before and after school. The bill also doubles penalties for traffic violations committed in "active" school zones (defined as when speed limits are enforced via signs or beacons) and mandates standardized signage for these zones. These changes directly affect drivers operating in school zones and local authorities responsible for zone designations.

MODERATE
This bill updates Nevada's laws regarding school zones, traffic enforcement, and student privacy. It requires school zones to specify times when they are not active, mandates better signage standards, doubles penalties for traffic violations in active zones, and restricts the sharing of student contact information.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of traffic enforcement by introducing new rules for 'active' school zones and increases penalties for violations occurring within them.
REQUIREMENT

School zones must now specify specific time periods when they are not active, rather than automatically being active during all non-school hours.

School zones and crossing zones must display signs indicating their presence and follow specific design and maintenance standards.

Public schools are prohibited from including certain pupil information in directories and from disclosing phone numbers or addresses to third parties.

ENFORCEMENT

Drivers committing certain traffic violations in active school zones face doubled fines and twice the number of demerit points.
