Las Vegas City Wire

To comply with a new law relating to minor traffic violations, the city of Las Vegas Municipal Court has quashed nearly 35,000 active warrants and eliminated the fees associated with those active warrants.

The 2021 Nevada Legislature passed Assembly Bill 116 that was later signed into law. The law converts some minor traffic violations, which are currently criminal misdemeanors, into civil infractions. This means that individuals will not be subject to arrest for committing these civil infractions. 

 Individuals who want to see if their cases were impacted by the quashing of warrants may check online at www.lasvegasnevada.gov/municipalcourt and clicking “check status of a warrant.” Those with additional questions may call 702-38COURT, or by visiting the customer service counter at the Courthouse located at 100 E. Clark Ave.
