that the Department deems appropriate. The design of the license plates must include the phrase “People Grow Things Here!”

and an identifying symbol furnished by the Nevada Future Farmers of America Foundation

or its successor. The Department shall not design, prepare or issue the license plates unless it receives

at least 250 applications for the issuance of those plates. 2. If the Department receives at least 250 applications for the issuance of license

the Department shall issue those plates for a passenger car or light commercial vehicle

upon application by a person who is entitled to license plates pursuant to NRS 482.265 and who otherwise complies with the requirements for registration and licensing pursuant

to this chapter. A person may request that personalized prestige license plates issued pursuant to NRS 482.3667 be combined with license plates which indicate support for the promotion of agriculture

services taxes and the fee prescribed in subsection 3, a person who requests a set

of license plates which indicate support for the promotion of agriculture within this

State must pay for the initial issuance of the plates an additional fee of $25 and

for each renewal of the plates an additional fee of $20, to be distributed in accordance

with subsection 5. 5. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 482.38279 , the Department shall deposit the fees collected pursuant to subsection 4 with the

State Treasurer for credit to the State General Fund. The State Treasurer shall, on a quarterly basis, distribute the fees deposited pursuant

to the provisions of this section disposes of the vehicle to which the plates are

affixed, the holder shall: (a) Retain the plates and affix them to another vehicle that meets the requirements

of this section if the holder pays the fee for the transfer of the registration and

any registration fee or governmental services tax due pursuant to NRS 482.399 ; or (b) Within 30 days after removing the plates from the vehicle, return them to the
