Revises provisions relating to the statewide sobriety and drug monitoring program. (BDR 43-423)
SB 416 changes Nevada's statewide sobriety and drug monitoring program by replacing "restricted driver's licenses" with a new "24/7 privilege" for participants. This privilege, issued by the DMV upon court notice, allows participants to drive unrestricted to any destination while complying with program requirements - removing prior restrictions that limited driving to work, testing sites, or medical appointments. The bill also expands allowable sanctions for program violations to include increased monitoring, treatment, or testing, and updates technical definitions related to testing methods. This directly affects individuals in Nevada's sobriety/drug monitoring program who currently hold restricted licenses.

MODERATE
This bill updates the Nevada 24/7 Sobriety and Drug Monitoring Program by replacing the term 'restricted driver's license' with '24/7 privilege' to reflect that participants can now drive freely to any destination, rather than being limited to specific locations like work or court. It also clarifies legal definitions regarding testing methods and expands the list of potential sanctions for non-compliance to include increased monitoring, supervision, treatment, or testing.
Scope change
The bill broadens the driving privileges for program participants from a restricted license with specific destination limits to a 24/7 privilege allowing travel to any location, provided the participant remains compliant with program requirements.
ELIGIBILITY
Replaced 'restricted driver's license' with '24/7 privilege' to indicate that participants can drive to any destination without the previous geographic limitations.
DEFINITION
Clarified that 'testing' includes methods approved under federal regulations, even if they do not require testing at a physical location.
ENFORCEMENT
Expanded the list of authorized sanctions for program violations to include increased monitoring, supervision, treatment, or testing, in addition to existing penalties like incarceration.
REQUIREMENT
Made technical corrections to statutory language to align with the new 24/7 privilege terminology and federal testing guidelines.
