Broader felony rules for impaired drivers

Nevada law treats impaired driving that causes another person’s death as vehicular homicide, on or off state highways. This includes actual physical control of a vehicle and no longer requires three prior qualifying convictions. Qualifying conditions include alcohol, drug, or chemical impairment, prohibited substance levels, and an alcohol level of at least 0.08. An alcohol test within two hours after driving or controlling the vehicle can count. Impaired drivers also commit a category B felony when an act or failure to perform a legal duty causes serious injury. That injury offense carries 2 to 20 years in prison and a $2,000 to $5,000 fine.
