The Nevada Department of Public Safety will receive $2.1 million through September 2026 under the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated federal formula grant program administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Specifically, the Department of Public Safety will implement measures to avoid the transfer of federal highway funds by ensuring Nevada's repeat offender laws meet requirements for specified penalties for repeat driving under the influence offenses. The formula grant award of $2,108,813 was issued on October 1, 2022 to support these efforts through the completion date of September 30, 2026.
