Please Respect Your Sports Official
Every day, you, your children or your friends engage in an American form of healthy competition through organized sports. As we enter a new season, we wanted to inform you that the Nevada Legislature passed a law, AB 474, in 2005 to protect all sports officials including referees, umpires, linesmen, timekeepers, inspectors, judges in any sport. State law makes it a crime to threaten a sports official, verbally or physically, resulting in fines up to $2,000 and 1 year in jail. If the victim suffers severe bodily harm, the punishment may be up to 15 years in prison and fines up to $10,000. (Nevada Revised Statutes 200.471 and 200.481)
