Assembly Bill No. 105–Assemblymember Jauregui

CHAPTER..........

AN ACT relating to firearms; prohibiting, under certain
circumstances, the possession of a firearm in or within a
certain distance of an election site; requiring the county clerk,
registrar of voters or city clerk, as applicable, to post a sign at
each election site notifying persons that possession of a
firearm is prohibited within a certain distance of the site;
providing penalties; and providing other matters properly
relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law prohibits a person from carrying or possessing certain weapons on
the property of the Nevada System of Higher Education, a private or public school
or a child care facility, or while in a vehicle of a private or public school or child
care facility. (NRS 202.265) Section 1 of this bill additionally prohibits a person
from possessing or causing a firearm to be present in, or within 100 feet of an
entrance to, a place the person knows or reasonably should know is an election site,
unless the person: (1) is a law enforcement officer engaged in the performance of
his or her official duties; (2) is an off-duty law enforcement officer who is lawfully
carrying a concealed firearm; (3) is a private security guard or other security
personnel hired by the owner of the facility or property in which the election site is
located; (4) possesses the firearm while in a vehicle, so long as the person does not
brandish the firearm or remove the firearm from the vehicle; or (5) lawfully
possesses a firearm in a place of residence, in a business or on private property that
is located within 100 feet of an entrance to an election site. Under section 1, a
person who violates this prohibition is guilty of a gross misdemeanor, except if
the person knowingly possesses a firearm or causes a firearm to be present with the
specific intent to disrupt, interfere with or monitor the administration of the
election, the counting of votes or any person who is voting or attempting to vote,
the person is guilty of a category D felony. Section 1 also establishes an affirmative
defense for a person who was lawfully in possession of a firearm and was traveling
within 100 feet of an election site solely for the purpose of accessing private
property located within that area or departing from such property. Section 1 further:
(1) requires the county clerk, registrar of voters or city clerk, as applicable, to post a
sign at each election site notifying persons that the possession of a firearm is
prohibited; and (2) specifies certain requirements relating to the sign.
Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change to make the existing
definitions that apply to certain crimes involving the ownership or possession of a
firearm by certain persons applicable to section 1.
