Revises provisions relating to special license plates. (BDR 43-1058)
AB 409 revises Nevada's special license plate program to include veterans of the U.S. Space Force and their families. It requires the DMV to issue these plates to Space Force veterans (and their spouses, parents, or children), expanding eligibility beyond existing military branches like the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. The bill also allows holders of personalized prestige license plates to combine them with military service plates by paying additional fees. This change directly affects Space Force veterans and their immediate family members seeking these specialized plates.
