Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Self-driving vehicles can signal automated driving

Autonomous vehicles tested or operated on Nevada highways can use marker lamps to show when automated driving is active. These lamps are optional, not required. Any lamps used must meet SAE J3134 and SAE J578 standards, or later versions approved by Nevada's motor vehicle agency.

Farm trailers get longer registration, upfront costs

Nevada farm-trailer owners can choose five-year registration instead of annual renewal. Trailers must mainly carry livestock, farm products, or farm or ranch machinery or supplies to or from farms or ranches. This hauling cannot be part of a common or contract motor carrier operation. Full trailers and semitrailers registered under the separate fixed-tax system are excluded. Owners pay upfront for one year's registration and four renewals, including all applicable fees and five years of taxes. Personalized plates on these trailers also last five years and renew on that cycle.
