Revises provisions relating to the Department of Motor Vehicles. (BDR 43-305)

Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to adopt regulations establishing a program for the imprinting of a symbol indicating a medical condition on a driver's license or identification card. If such a program is adopted, existing law: (1) requires the Department to adopt a single symbol to indicate that a person has a medical condition; and (2) prohibits the Department from adopting individualized symbols for different medical conditions. (NRS 483.3485, 483.863) Sections 1 and 2 of this bill authorize the Department to adopt individualized symbols or codes for different medical conditions in addition to adopting the required single symbol to indicate that a person has a medical condition. Existing law requires the Department to mail to the registered owner of a motor vehicle a request for information regarding the liability insurance covering the motor vehicle, if the Department is unable to verify that the motor vehicle is covered by a policy of liability insurance. If the Department does not receive the requested information, existing law requires the Department to suspend the registration of the motor vehicle after sending a notice of suspension of registration by certified mail. (NRS 485.317) Section 3 of this bill requires the Department to send a request for information regarding liability insurance coverage by electronic notification, if the registered owner has elected to receive information from the Department by electronic notification. Section 3 also requires the Department to send a notice of suspension of registration by electronic notification, if the registered owner has elected to receive information from the Department by electronic notification, in addition to sending the notice by certified mail or a mail service that requires the signature of the recipient and confirmation of delivery.
