Assembly Bill 20, sponsored on behalf of the Department of Motor Vehicles, was presented by Legislative Counsel Bureau policy analyst Keeley Latham. The bill would allow the DMV to imprint individualized symbols or codes for certain medical conditions on licenses and to send certain owner communications electronically if the owner opted in. The DMV proposed an amendment in conceptual form to clarify mail and electronic-notification language. Vice Chair Carter moved to amend and do pass AB 20; Assemblymember Brown May seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Assembly Bill 32, sponsored on behalf of Carson City, would direct the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Growth and Infrastructure to study the Nevada Commission for the Reconstruction of the V&T Railway and report recommendations on structure, duties and long-term financial viability during the 2025-26 interim. Assemblymember Brown May moved to do pass; Vice Chair Carter seconded. The motion carried with one recorded nay by Assemblymember Gallant.

Assembly Bill 168, originally drafted to address bicycles, electric bicycles and electric scooters, was presented with an amendment in conceptual form from the sponsor, Assemblymember Goulding, to limit the bill to bicycles and add co-sponsors. The committee moved to amend and do pass; the motion carried unanimously.

The committee then voted to introduce BDR 58-1114 (revising provisions related to limousines) and BDR 40-424 (revising provisions related to collection, disposal and retirement of certain types of waste). Both BDRs were introduced after voice votes; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the hearing minutes provided.

All three committee bills were advanced from the work session with floor statements assigned to committee members for future floor action.

Assemblymember Linda Hunt, the bill sponsor, said AB 4 17 builds on previous measures, including work by Clark County and prior session legislation, and is aimed at removing unsafe vehicles from Nevada roads.

Andrew Bennett, director of the Clark County Office of Traffic Safety, described the bill in the context of roadway fatalities and said previous laws helped give law enforcement ticket-and-tow tools but that unsafe vehicle equipment continues to contribute to deadly crashes. Officer Mike Teal of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said the measure would help \"get the illegal and unsafe vehicles off our roads\" and asked for the bill's implementation \"sooner rather than later\" because the behavior is year-round in Clark County.

Under the bill as presented, officers investigating a speed contest or trick-driving display would inspect vehicles for violations of Nevada's vehicle-safety laws (functional lights, brakes, mirrors, mufflers and other required equipment). If a vehicle is found unsafe or noncompliant, the officer would issue a citation to the registered owner and submit a copy to the DMV within five days. The DMV, using its existing authority, would temporarily cancel the registration and notify the owner to obtain a safety inspection within 30 days; failure to cure violations within that period would lead to cancellation of registration. Presenters told the committee they are discussing potential reasonable extensions with public defenders for repairs that may take longer than 30 days.

JD Decker, chief of the Nevada DMV's compliance enforcement division, advised the committee that Nevada statutes already authorize law enforcement to seize vehicles operated with improper registration and enable the DMV to issue notices of inspection and temporary cancellations while owners cure defects. He explained the practical process: a notice of inspection provides a 30-day window for the registered owner to present the vehicle for a VIN/safety inspection and clear curable violations before reinstatement.

Committee members asked how the bill would treat unregistered vehicles and older or classic cars lacking modern safety equipment. Decker and Andrew Bennett said Nevada law includes grandfathering for certain older vehicles; compliance and seizure authority exists for improperly registered vehicles. Officer Teal did not provide a specific count of fatalities attributable solely to trick driving but said the agencies could provide follow-up data.

Supporters including the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association and the Nevada Franchise Auto Dealers Association testified in favor of AB 4 17, saying the bill would protect public safety and could protect future buyers from unknowingly purchasing heavily modified, unsafe vehicles. No callers or in-person witnesses opposed the bill at the hearing.

The committee closed the hearing on AB 4 17 with the sponsor indicating plans to continue stakeholder discussions and to propose amendments for reasonable extensions and implementation details.

","AB 4 17 would require law enforcement to report vehicles cited for trick driving or speed contests to the DMV; the DMV could temporarily cancel registrations and require inspections to bring vehicles into compliance within 30 days.

Supporters said the bill is a narrow follow-up to 2023's SB 11 and is aimed at fixing an unintended consequence of that law that limited agencies' access to competitive, cost-effective equipment.

Assemblywoman Lisa Cole, the bill sponsor, told the committee that AB 4 39 \"is essentially a follow-up to a bill that was, approved and signed into law by Governor Lombardo in 2023 session.\" She said the intent is to preserve sourcing limitations aligned with national security while adding discretion so agencies can obtain reliable equipment.

Elliot Mallon, a consultant who said he was representing Alpine Strategies and Flock, described Section 8 as the core change. He said the bill would permit public agencies to acquire unmanned aerial vehicles when \"the data is stored exclusively within The United States and not accessible to third parties.\" Mallon and others said that language is intended to keep national-security protections in place while broadening allowable hardware options.

Madison Campbell of Flock Safety testified that some life-saving capabilities are currently unavailable to rural and budget-constrained agencies. \"It's the difference between reaching a structure fire in 60 seconds instead of 2 minutes,\" Campbell said, adding that foreign-manufactured drones can be far less expensive than U.S.-made systems and that ensuring onshore data storage can mitigate security concerns.

Committee members asked detailed questions about the bill's phrase \"third party\" and whether lawful access by federal agencies (for example, the FAA) would be affected. Mallon and Campbell said the bill's intent is to prohibit access by nonpublic entities and foreign adversaries while allowing lawful, operational access by appropriate U.S. authorities. On costs, Campbell said non-U.S. manufactured systems can cost \"only 5 to 10 k\" while U.S.-made systems can cost \"upwards of a hundred a hundred thousand dollars.\" She and Mallon offered to provide more specific technical safeguards and said vendors can supply step-by-step security procedures for hardware and software review.

The presenters named Switch, a commercial data-center operator with facilities in northern and southern Nevada, as examples of onshore storage options. The committee took no public testimony in support, opposition or neutral status; the hearing record shows no callers or in-person speakers taking the public-comment slots for AB 4 39.

The committee closed the hearing on AB 4 39 after questions and the sponsor's brief closing remarks.

What happened next: The bill hearing concluded with no recorded amendment or interim action at the hearing itself. Presenters offered to work with the committee on drafting more-specific data-security language and to supply vendor security protocols for any follow-up amendment.

","A legislative hearing on AB 4 39 drew presenters from the bill's sponsor and private vendors who said the measure would preserve national-security protections while allowing agencies wider procurement options if drone data is stored and controlled inside the United States.","actionData","errors"]
