“Section 1. Notwithstanding any specific statute to the contrary:
1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Department of Motor Vehicles may adopt regulations establishing a pilot program pursuant to which motor vehicles, other than motor vehicles registered pursuant to the provisions of NRS 706.801 to 706.861, inclusive, and motor vehicles that have a declared gross weight in excess of 26,000 pounds, are registered for a period of 24 consecutive months.
2. In establishing a pilot program pursuant to this section, the Department of Motor Vehicles shall work in cooperation with:
(a) The Department of Taxation and the board of county commissioners of each county in which the pilot program will be carried out concerning the assessment and collection of any taxes imposed on motor vehicles participating in the pilot program, including, without limitation, the governmental services tax imposed pursuant to chapter 371 of NRS; and
(b) The State Environmental Commission and the local air pollution control agency for each county in which the pilot program will be carried out concerning the testing of emissions of the motor vehicles participating in the pilot program. The State Environmental Commission, in consultation with the Department of Motor Vehicles, may adopt such regulations as are necessary to provide for the testing of emissions of motor vehicles participating in the pilot program.
3. The Department of Motor Vehicles may adopt regulations establishing a schedule of fees, including penalties, to be assessed on motor vehicles participating in a pilot program that corresponds to the fees that would otherwise be assessed on the registration of motor vehicles pursuant to chapter 482 of NRS. The amount of any fee adopted by regulation pursuant to this subsection for the 24-consecutive-month period of registration must not exceed the amount that would be assessed pursuant to its corresponding fee for that same period if the motor vehicle was not participating in the pilot program.
Sec. 2. If the Department of Motor Vehicles establishes a pilot program pursuant to section 1 of this act, the Department shall conduct a study of the pilot program and submit a report of the results of the study, together with any recommended legislation, to the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau on or before February 1, 2007, for transmittal to the 74th Regular Session of the Legislature.
Sec. 3. 1. This section and section 2 of this act become effective on July 1, 2003.
