NRS 484A.7043 Penalties.

 1. Except as otherwise provided in this
section, a person who is found to have committed a civil infraction shall be
punished by a civil penalty of not more than $500 per violation unless a
greater civil penalty is authorized by specific statute. Except as otherwise
provided in NRS 484A.792, any civil
penalty collected pursuant to NRS 484A.703
to 484A.705, inclusive, by a:

 (a) Municipal court must be paid to the treasurer
of the city in which the court is located.

 (b) Justice court must be paid to the treasurer
of the county in which the court is located.

 2. If a person is found to have committed
a civil infraction, in addition to any civil penalty imposed on the person, the
court shall order the person to pay the administrative assessments set forth in
NRS 176.059, 176.0611, 176.0613 and 176.0623 in the amount that the person
would be required to pay if the civil penalty were a fine imposed on a
defendant who pleads guilty or guilty but mentally ill or is found guilty or
guilty but mentally ill of a misdemeanor. If, in lieu of a civil penalty, the
court authorizes a person to successfully complete a course of traffic safety
approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles, the court must order the person
to pay the amount of the administrative assessment that corresponds to the
civil penalty for which the defendant would have otherwise been responsible.
The administrative assessments imposed pursuant to this subsection must be
collected and distributed in the same manner as the administrative assessments
imposed and collected pursuant to NRS
176.059, 176.0611, 176.0613 and 176.0623.

 3. If the court determines that a civil
penalty or administrative assessment imposed pursuant to this section is:

 (a) Excessive in relation to the financial
resources of the defendant, the court may waive or reduce the monetary penalty
accordingly.

 (b) Not within the defendant’s present financial
ability to pay, the court may enter into a payment plan with the person.

 4. A court having jurisdiction over a
civil infraction pursuant to NRS 484A.703
to 484A.705, inclusive, may:

 (a) In addition to ordering a person who is found
to have committed a civil infraction to pay a civil penalty and administrative
assessments pursuant to this section, order the person to successfully complete
a course of traffic safety approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

 (b) Waive or reduce the civil penalty that a
person who is found to have committed a civil infraction would otherwise be
required to pay if the court determines that any circumstances warrant such a
waiver or reduction.

 (c) Reduce any moving violation for which a
person was issued a civil infraction citation to a nonmoving violation if the
court determines that any circumstances warrant such a reduction.

 5. A court shall not award attorney’s fees
or costs to any party in a hearing conducted pursuant to NRS 484A.7041, regardless of the
outcome.
