With certain exceptions, existing law makes it a misdemeanor for a person to keep more than two unregistered vehicles on real property owned by or under the possession or control of the person if the vehicles are no longer intended for or in condition for lawful use on the highway. (NRS 487.290, 487.300) Sections 1 and 3 of this bill revise the penalty by providing that such an act is punishable by a civil penalty of not more than $100 for each day of the violation. Section 1 authorizes a local authority to adopt an ordinance prohibiting the same conduct and imposing a different, non-criminal penalty for such conduct. Section 1 provides that such a local ordinance applies instead of the state law prohibiting the same conduct under certain circumstances. Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change to indicate the proper placement of section 1 in the Nevada Revised Statutes.
