§ 482.37945. Support of reconstruction, maintenance, improvement and promotion of Virginia & Truckee Railroad

1. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Department, in cooperation

with the Northern Nevada Railway Foundation or its successor, shall design, prepare

and issue license plates for the support of the reconstruction, maintenance, improvement

and promotion of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad using any colors that the Department

deems appropriate. The design of the license plates must include a depiction of a locomotive of the

Virginia & Truckee Railroad and the phrase “The Virginia & Truckee Lives.” 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

plates for the support of the reconstruction, maintenance, improvement and promotion

of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, 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 for the support of the reconstruction, maintenance,

improvement and promotion of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad if that person pays the

fees for the personalized prestige license plates in addition to the fees for the

license plates for the support of the reconstruction, maintenance, improvement and

promotion of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad pursuant to subsections 3 and 4. 3. The fee for license plates for the support of the reconstruction, maintenance,

improvement and promotion of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad is $35, in addition to

all other applicable registration and license fees and governmental services taxes. The license plates are renewable upon the payment of $10. 4. In addition to all other applicable registration and license fees and governmental

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

of license plates for the support of the reconstruction, maintenance, improvement

and promotion of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad 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 pursuant to subsection 5. 5. The Department shall transmit the fees collected pursuant to subsection 4 to the

treasurer with whom the Nevada Commission for the Reconstruction of the V & T Railway

of Carson City and Storey County has entered into an agreement as required by subsection

2 of section 8 of chapter 566, Statutes of Nevada 1993, for deposit in the fund created

pursuant to that section. The fees transmitted pursuant to this subsection must be used only for the reconstruction,

maintenance, improvement and promotion of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. 6. If, during a registration period, the holder of license plates issued 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

Department.
