Assembly Bill 245, sponsored by Assemblymember Sandra Jauregui, D-Las Vegas, would make it a gross misdemeanor for a person under 21 years old to possess or own a semi-automatic shotgun or rifle. The bill passed on party lines Tuesday. I have not heard if FPC is preparing to fight but the botch sponsoring it is using the Route 91 mass unsolved shooting to push it as usual. Bipartisan legislation sponsored by Jauregui and Assemblymember P.K. O’Neill, AB451 would provide immunity from civil liability to a licensed firearm dealer or a local law enforcement agency when they temporarily take a firearm at the request of the owner. O’Neill, R-Carson City, encouraged his colleagues to support the bill, which he called a “suicide prevention bill.” The bill passed 41-1 on Tuesday, with Assemblymember Jill Dickman, R-Sparks, as the lone ‘no’ vote. ====================== Another couple of gems from the Californians running Nevada's legislative bodies: AB111, dubbed Jaya’s Law, aims to curb wrong-way crashes by making wrong-way driving on a divided highway a misdemeanor rather than a civil infraction. The bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Brian Hibbetts, R-Las Vegas, passed unanimously out of the Assembly. AB81, sponsored by Assemblymember Selena La Rue Hatch, D-Reno, would exempt Nevada from daylight saving time and enact permanent standard time, effectively stopping the clocks from changing twice a year. SB 324, sponsored by Scheible, would prohibit the sale of plastic water bottles in communities abutting the Lake Tahoe watershed, following a similar policy passed by the city of South Lake Tahoe on the California side. Senate Concurrent Resolution 2 recognized the “Fruit Loop,’ a historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood in Las Vegas. The resolution passed by voice vote. The final gem in this pile of shit is this: In a 39-3 vote, the Assembly passed AB 530, which would allow Clark County Commissioners to extend a gas tax program that adjusts the gas tax rate to go up with inflation every year if it gets a two-thirds majority vote by Dec. 31, 2026. Assemblymembers Jill Dickman, R-Sparks; Gallant and Gregory Hafen, R-Pahrump, voted in opposition. |

What's unsolved about Route 91? Crazy nut job fired a bunch of rounds on a crowd of people below. AB111, dubbed Jaya’s Law, aims to curb wrong-way crashes by making wrong-way driving on a divided highway a misdemeanor rather than a civil infraction. The bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Brian Hibbetts, R-Las Vegas, passed unanimously out of the Assembly. I got a kick out of the whole initiative of making many traffic violations civil infractions instead of misdemeanors. The prevailing argument is that the poors would get tickets that went to warrant because the couldn't pay them. What they failed to realize is all the defendant had to do was go to court and get put on payments or some program. Wasn't rocket science but apparently was some uber-secret that people couldn't see that skipping a court date was a bad thing. But now that it is civil it simply goes to collections for payment if there is a non-appearance. Doesn't sound so bad. But wait! There's more! The court will send notice to the DMV of the unpaid fines. The DMV will then suspend the license of the offender. So the next time the driver gets stopped they are on the hook for driving on a suspended license which is a misdemeanor and subject to an arrest warrant for failure to appear. So the idea that it was to help the poors did nothing but kick the can down the road for them. Oh, and if your license is suspended or otherwise invalid for a year or more, guess who gets to retake the entire DMV driving test? Of course this isn't the end of it. With the violation being civil, the defendant isn't granted an automatic court date. Instead a court date must be requested. In order to request the hearing the defendant had to post the fine, only to get it back if the defendant won the case. But wait! It gets better: Because the violation is civil the prosecution does not need to prove the defendants guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Nope, just the civil standard or preponderance of the evidence, or, more than likely. Basically the 51% standard or the standard that arose to probable cause to issue the citation in the first place. I have spoken with with an NHP Trooper that didn't appear in court yet the judge found against the defendant since the citation was signed by the issuing trooper that he had probable cause to believe the violation occurred, so the judge used that to simply find against the defendant. So, with many moving violations now being civil it is harder for folks to contest the violation by needing to put up the money first as well as being harder to defend against. Yup, sure went a long way to help the poors. More like politicians luring people in with utopian promises while stabbing them in the back. |
