Existing law: (1) requires the annual registration of certain off-highway vehicles, including large all-terrain vehicles, with the Department of Motor Vehicles; and (2) exempts from such requirements an off-highway vehicle which is registered or certified in another state and is located in this State for not more than 15 days. (NRS 490.082, 490.0825) Section 1.5 of this bill authorizes the owners of such vehicles to register such vehicles for a 1-year or 3-year period. Section 1.5 also provides that the existing exemption from registration for off-highway vehicles which are registered or certified in another state applies only if the off-highway vehicle is registered or certified in a state which provides a similar exemption from registration for off-highway vehicles registered in this State. Existing law requires the Commission on Off-Highway Vehicles within the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to determine the fee for the annual registration of an off-highway vehicle. (NRS 490.084) Section 2 of this bill additionally requires the Commission to determine the fee for the triennial registration of an off-highway vehicle. Section 1 of this bill makes a conforming change to reflect the new fee structure. Section 2.5 of this bill requires the Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles to notify the Governor and the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau when the Director of the Department determines that sufficient resources are available to enable the Department to carry out the provisions of sections 1, 1.5 and 2 and requires the Director to publish such notice on the Internet website of the Department. Under section 3 of this bill, the provisions of sections 1, 1.5 and 2 become effective on the date on which the Director provides such notice.
