SB 382 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to vehicles. (BDR 43-316)

SB 382 expands permanent vehicle registration to business, commercial, and farm trailers (excluding recreational types), allowing owners to register these trailers for as long as they own them. Instead of paying annual registration fees and taxes based on trailer value, owners pay a one-time $86 governmental services tax. The bill removes previous restrictions requiring trailers to be part of a fleet and updates state law to replace "full trailer" with "trailer" in registration provisions. This change directly affects businesses and farms using non-recreational trailers for operations.
