Nevada AB 402 (2025) did not pass. It passed the Assembly 27-15 on May 30, 2025, but was referred to the Senate Committee on Finance on May 31 and no further action was taken. If enacted, it would have created a pilot program, effective July 1, 2025 and expiring June 30, 2029 (Sec. 8). The Department of Transportation, a local authority or a regional transportation commission could authorize automated traffic enforcement systems in temporary highway construction, maintenance or repair zones (Sec. 2.2). The systems would enforce speeds 10 mph or more over the limit, and only when workers are present. Images must show the vehicle and license plate and must not reveal the face of the driver or any passenger (Sec. 2.1). Requirements: warning signs at the zone entry; competitive bidding; a public information campaign at least 30 days before enforcement (Sec. 2.2). A peace officer would have to review the evidence for accuracy before a civil infraction citation is mailed to the registered owner (Sec. 2.3). The registered owner would be presumed to be the driver. The owner could rebut this with an affidavit naming the person in control of the vehicle, or showing it was stolen, backed by supporting evidence (Sec. 2.3). Images and data could be stored and shared only by the issuing traffic enforcement agency, except under a court order. Vendors could not be paid per citation issued (Sec. 2.4). A violation would not be a moving violation and would carry a civil penalty of up to $200 (Sec. 2.6), with no demerit points (Sec. 1). Revenue would first cover program costs, and any remainder could go to county road funds (Sec. 2.6). The response deadline would be extended to 120 days (Sec. 5), and the bond to contest would be capped at $100 (Sec. 6). Employers could not use these citations for progressive discipline (Sec. 2.8). Annual reports on infractions, citation frequency, repeat violations and citations issued would go to the Legislative Counsel Bureau director (Sec. 2.7).
