A version of SEMA-model legislation to ease the process by which replica cars are titled and registered died when the legislature adjourned for the year.

A version of SEMA-model legislation to ease the process by which replica cars are titled and registered died when the legislature adjourned for the year. The bill has been approved by the full House of Representatives and had been awaiting a vote by the full Senate.

The measure defined "replica car" as a motor vehicle that is assembled from a pre-fabricated chassis and body kit purchased from a replica car manufacturer.

Among other things, the bill created a specific registration and titling class for replicas and provided that the model year is the year of the model or brand that a replica car most resembles; exempted replica cars from state and local laws or ordinances requiring periodic vehicle or vehicle emission inspections and testing; and provided that replica cars need not have equipment that was not required by state or federal law in its model year.

Legislation to drastically alter the requirements for vehicles eligible for registration as a “classic vehicle” was considered by the Nevada Transportation Committee, but no vote has yet been taken.

Legislation to drastically alter the requirements for vehicles eligible for registration as a “classic vehicle” was considered by the Nevada Transportation Committee, but no vote has yet been taken. The bill sponsor is proposing an amendment to the bill that will make the added restrictions also applicable to those vehicles running old-timer, street-rod and classic-rod plates.

Under the bill, the special plates would only be allowed for passenger cars and require that owners provide proof satisfactory to the state that the vehicle is driven solely for personal use and not more than 5,000 miles during an annual registration period. The owner would also be required to have another passenger car or motorcycle registered during the entire registration period. The bill also would now exclude light commercial vehicles from eligibility.
