SB 181 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the issuance of special license plates indicating support for Nevada State University. (BDR 43-787)

SB 181 creates special Nevada State University (NSU) license plates available to drivers who pay $35 initial and $10 annual fees, plus $25 initial and $20 annual additional fees. The extra fees fund NSU athletics programs and a student support initiative providing food, supplies, clothing, and hygiene items to students, faculty, and staff. The plates cannot be used on trailers or semitrailers and are exempt from standard special license plate requirements like approval limits and minimum application thresholds. This allows NSU to directly benefit from plate sales while offering drivers a way to support the university through vehicle registration.
