Violating NAC or regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal is guilty of which offense?

• A. Misdemeanor
• B. Felony
• C. Infractions
• D. Civil Violation

Answer: (A)

Violating NAC or regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal is treated as a criminal offense. In Nevada, criminal offenses are classified as misdemeanors or felonies, with misdemeanors covering less serious criminal acts and felonies reserved for more severe crimes. Civil violations or infractions are separate tracks used for noncriminal penalties or fines. The fire safety regulations enforced by the State Fire Marshal are enforced criminally, so a violation is classified as a misdemeanor, not a civil infraction or a felony unless the conduct meets the higher threshold for a felony. This means penalties can include fines and potentially jail time, depending on the specific violation and statutes involved.
