Press Release: Nevada Assembly Passes Legislation to Decriminalize Minor Traffic Violations


Press Release: Nevada Assembly Passes Legislation to Decriminalize Minor Traffic Violations
Bill Would End Widespread Practice of Arresting & Jailing People Who Can’t Afford Minor Traffic Ticket
Yesterday, the Nevada Assembly approved legislation that would decriminalize minor traffic violations making them civil infractions and ending the widespread practice of issuing warrants when an individual can’t afford to pay the fines and fees imposed. Nevada is one of only 13 U.S. states that prosecutes minor traffic violations as criminal offenses, rather than as civil infractions.  
AB 116 was introduced by Assemblywoman Rochelle Nguyen with seven primary sponsors including the Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro and 23 co-sponsors, including Republican Lisa Krasner, Nevada’s Assistant Minority Whip.  The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will be heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday.  ....

Assembly member Selena Torres presented Assembly Bill 194 before the Senate Committee on Education Monday afternoon.
The bill is geared toward interrupting the school-to-prison pipeline by revising provisions relating to suspensions and expulsions in Nevada’s schools. It has the support of the Washoe County and Clark County Public Defenders’ Offices.
“The Clark County Public Defender’s Office and Washoe County Public Defender’s Office urge your support on AB 194. This bill will provide crucial due process protections to help break the school-to-prison pipeline,” John Piro of Clark County and Kendra Bertschy wrote to legislators in a March 23 letter. ....

While testifying on legislation addressing pretrial detention, Kendra Bertschy with the Washoe County Public Defender’s office described a broken aspect of the bail system she said leaves people behind bars even when they haven’t been convicted of a crime.
One client she referenced was a 19-year-old college student with no prior arrest who was accused of a nonviolent offense, though Bertschy didn’t specify the crime.
The client, who was referred to as Sara, was subjected to pretrial risk assessment, a tool courts use to determine a person’s safety risk to the community and likelihood to return to court. The higher score, the higher the estimated risk, and Sara scored a zero since she had no prior arrests and valid contact information. ....
