Department prohibited from charging additional fee for delinquent or late registration of vehicle owned by deployed member of military; affidavit required.

1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Department shall not impose an additional fee against the owner of a vehicle for the delinquent or late registration of that vehicle if the owner was a member of the military deployed to a combat or combat supporting position at the time of the expiration of the prior registration. 2. Evidence that the owner of a vehicle was a member of the military deployed to a combat or combat supporting position at a particular time must be furnished by an affidavit executed by a person having knowledge of the fact. The affidavit must accompany the application for renewal of registration. 3. As used in this section: (a) “Additional fee” means any fine, fee, assessment or other monetary penalty that the Department imposes or collects solely because a vehicle is registered after the date by which it is ordinarily required to be registered. The term does not include a fee or tax that would be due and payable irrespective of the registration of a vehicle being late. (b) “Military” means the Armed Forces of the United States, a reserve component thereof or the National Guard. (Added to NRS by 2011, 296)
