Nevada pipeline fines tied to federal cap

The law caps civil fines for breaking PUC gas pipeline safety rules at the matching federal amount. That cap follows 49 U.S.C. 60122(a) and includes federal inflation updates. Nevada can no longer deduct a PUC fine from money it owes the violator. The Commission can settle penalties, and it may sue in court to collect unpaid amounts. This applies to PUC rules adopted under the federal Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act.
