AB 140 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing driver authorization cards. (BDR 43-200)

AB 140 changes how long driver authorization cards remain valid. Currently, these cards expire every four years on the holder's birthday anniversary. The bill requires the Nevada DMV to set expiration periods for these cards to match those for standard driver's licenses (as determined by DMV regulations). This affects individuals who hold driver authorization cards, which are issued to people not eligible for a regular driver's license.
