After several conversations with SEMA staff and members of the collector car hobby in Nevada, legislation to alter the registration requirements for “classic” vehicles will be withdrawn for the year by the bill’s sponsor.

After several conversations with SEMA staff and members of the collector car hobby in Nevada, legislation to alter the registration requirements for “classic” vehicles will be withdrawn for the year by the bill’s sponsor. Under the bill, the holder of a classic-vehicle license plate seeking an emissions-inspection exemption would have been required to verify the odometer reading of the vehicle. These verifications would have been completed for a fee by an approved inspector at certain emissions-compliance stations to determine that the vehicle was driven less than 5,000 miles the previous year. The bill also required proof that the vehicle was covered only by a collector motor-vehicle liability policy. SEMA will host a stakeholders meeting in the state later this year to discuss practical methods by which the law can be applied to better target abusers of the classic plate.
