Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to: (1) furnish to every owner whose vehicle is required to be registered two license plates for a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle or moped, and one license plate for all other vehicles, including, without limitation, a trailer; and (2) automatically reissue a license plate or plates issued by the Department every 8 years, subject to certain exceptions applicable to special license plates. (NRS 482.2065, 482.265, 482.266, 482.2705, 482.274, 482.368, 482.379, 482.37901) Existing law also authorizes a person to whom license plates are issued to apply for and obtain from the Department a duplicate or substitute license plate if any license plate issued to that person is lost, mutilated or illegible. (NRS 482.285) Sections 1 and 2 of this bill remove the requirement for the Department to automatically reissue license plates every 8 years, thus requiring any person who wishes to receive a duplicate or substitute license plate or plates to apply for any such plate or plates according to existing law governing the issuance of duplicate or substitute license plates. (NRS 482.285) Sections 3-10 of this bill make conforming changes which remove other references to the requirement to automatically reissue certain license plates every 8 years, consistent with the provisions of sections 1 and 2.
