1. Each family member of a person who died as a result of injuries sustained while on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States is entitled to specially designed license plates which indicate that the person is a family member of a person who died as a result of injuries sustained while on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States.
2. Each person who qualifies for special license plates pursuant to this section may apply for not more than two sets of plates. If the person applies for a second set of plates for an additional vehicle, the second set of plates must have a different number than the first set of plates issued to the same applicant. Special license plates issued pursuant to this section may be used only on a private passenger vehicle, a noncommercial truck or a motor home.
3. The Department shall issue specially designed license plates for any person qualified pursuant to this section who submits an application on a form prescribed by the Department and evidence satisfactory to the Department that the person is a family member of a person who died as a result of injuries sustained while on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States. The Department may designate any appropriate colors for the special plates.
4. If, during a registration year, the holder of a set of special license plates issued pursuant to the provisions of this section disposes of the vehicle to which the plates are affixed, the holder shall:
(a) Retain the plates and affix them to another vehicle which meets the requirements of this section and report the change to the Department in accordance with the procedure set forth for other transfers; or
(b) Within 30 days after removing the plates from the vehicle, return them to the Department.
5. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, no fee in addition to the applicable registration and license fees and governmental services taxes may be charged for the issuance or renewal of a set of special license plates pursuant to this section. If the special plates issued pursuant to this section are lost, stolen or mutilated, the owner of the vehicle may secure a set of duplicate number plates from the Department for the fees required pursuant to NRS 482.268.
6. As used in this section:
(a) “Died as a result of injuries sustained while on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States” includes persons who die as a result of an injury sustained while on active duty whether or not the person had been discharged from military service at the time of his or her death.
(b) “Family member” means a widow, widower, parent, stepparent, grandparent, child, stepchild, dependent, sibling, half sibling or stepsibling.
