LVJCLRP 7.1
Three types of cases
There are three types of cases involving violations of traffic offenses in the Nevada Revised Statutes: criminal misdemeanor citations, criminal misdemeanor citations alleging only regulatory offenses, and civil infractions.
(a) Criminal misdemeanor citations include all citations in which the citation is marked “criminal” or in which the Legislature has determined a violation of the particular charged statute provision is punishable as a misdemeanor.
(b) Criminal misdemeanor citations alleging only regulatory offenses include all citations in which all charges relate to registration of a vehicle, insurance, licensing, and handicap parking violations.
(c) Civil infractions include:
(1) All citations in which the citation is marked “civil infraction”; and
(2) All cases in which the prosecuting attorney has elected to treat a violation of a provision of NRS Chapters 483 to 484E, inclusive, 486, or 490 as a civil infraction pursuant to NRS 484A.7049.
