What the law says
“Any person or persons opening and passing through gates or bars when gates or bars are placed in fences enclosing fields, or in fences partly enclosing lands, and not shutting and fastening the same, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.”
“The provisions of this section shall not apply to gates in towns and cities nor gates necessary in the approach to any building or works where the passing through or into fields or lands is not contemplated.”
Penalty
This section doesn't print a penalty of its own. Other parts of the Nevada Revised Statutes may set one; we haven't looked them up, so we don't state one here.
History note
“[1911 C&P § 504; RL § 6769; NCL § 10451]”
The earliest year in this note is 1911. That's the earliest year the note prints. It doesn't establish when this wording was enacted, took effect or first appeared.
In plain English
Our reading
Open a gate in a Nevada field fence, go through, and you have to shut and fasten it again, or it's a misdemeanor. The section leaves out gates in towns and cities and gates on the way to a building where nobody is meant to pass into the fields.
