BACKGROUND:
The existing Amusement and Transportation Systems (ATS) code, adopted in May 2008, contains outdated terminology, processes, and reference to standards that have since been revised, withdrawn, or superseded.
The proposed ordinance renames the chapter to "Amusement Ride and People Mover" (ARPM) to better reflect the scope of systems regulated by the Clark County Building Department.
This chapter is comprehensively reorganized and updated to align with current regulatory practices and nationally recognized safety standards. References to outdated or withdrawn standards are replaced with current adopted standards, and all such standards are incorporated by reference. Future updates to referenced standards remain subject to Board approval by the Board of Commissioners.
The proposed ordinance also incorporates and consolidates applicable administrative and technical provisions currently found in the Building Administrative Code and applicable building code provisions into Sections 22.16.040 to 22.16.100 of the Clark County Code.
A Business Impact Statement (BIS) was prepared in accordance with NRS 237 and noticed for public comment beginning on March 11, 2026. The BIS was approved at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on May 5, 2026.
