NRS 484B.470
Local law enforcement agency authorized to appoint volunteers to enforce certain laws concerning parking for persons who are handicapped.


1.

A local law enforcement agency may appoint volunteers to issue citations, prepared manually or electronically, for the violation of the provisions of NRS 484B.467 or ordinances enacted by a local authority that govern parking for persons who are handicapped.

2.

The local law enforcement agency appointing volunteers shall:

(a)

Establish minimum qualifications for the volunteers;

(b)

Provide training to the volunteers before authorizing them to issue citations; and

(c)

Provide the volunteers with appropriate equipment, including, but not limited to, uniforms or other identifying attire and traffic citations issued in books or electronic devices that may be used to issue citations.

3.

A citation issued by a volunteer appointed pursuant to subsection 1 has the same force and effect as a citation issued by a peace officer. The volunteer shall file the original or a copy of the citation in the manner prescribed in NRS 484A.680.

4.

For the purposes of this section, a person who volunteers to a local law enforcement agency to issue citations pursuant to subsection 1 shall be deemed an employee of a political subdivision of this State for the purposes of NRS 616A.160 if the person has successfully completed the training course for the issuance of such citations provided by the local law enforcement agency.

5.

Local law enforcement agencies are not liable for the negligent acts or omissions of a person who volunteers to issue citations pursuant to subsection 1 unless:

(a)

The volunteer made a specific promise or representation to a natural person who relied upon the promise or representation to his or her detriment; or

(b)

The conduct of the volunteer affirmatively caused the harm.
Ê The provisions of this section are not intended to abrogate the principle of common law that the duty of governmental entities to provide services is a duty owed to the public, not to individual persons.

6.

An owner of private property on which there are parking spaces designated for persons who are handicapped, or the owner or operator of a business establishment located on such property, is not liable for any acts or omissions resulting from the issuance of a citation by a volunteer pursuant to this section.
