citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Every person who is guilty of a public offense proportionate to the value of the property affected or the loss resulting from the offense shall be punished as follows:

1. Where the value of the loss is $5,000 or more or where the damage results in impairment of public communication, transportation or police and fire protection, for a category C felony as provided in NRS 193.130.

2. Where the value of the loss is $250 or more but less than $5,000, for a gross misdemeanor.

3. Where the value of the loss is $25 or more but less than $250, for a misdemeanor.

4. Where the value of the loss is less than $25, by a fine of not more than $500.
