Nev. Admin. Code § 485.190 - Suspension of registration: Reinstatement of registration or rescission of suspension on ground of extenuating circumstances

1. If the registered owner of a motor vehicle for which the registration has been suspended pursuant to NRS 485.317 wishes to pay the reduced fee of $50 to reinstate the registration of the vehicle pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 7 of NRS 485.317, or to have the suspension of the registration of the vehicle rescinded without the payment of a fee pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 7 of NRS 485.317, on the ground of extenuating circumstances, the registered owner must present proof satisfactory to the Department that extenuating circumstances existed which prevented the registered owner from renewing the policy of liability insurance covering the vehicle. The proof presented must cover the period specified by the Department and be acceptable to the Department.

2. The Department will not rescind the suspension of the registration of a motor vehicle without the payment of a fee on the ground of extenuating circumstances for a registered owner more than once. The Department will notify the registered owner at the time the suspension is rescinded of the provisions of NRS 485.320, which requires surrender of the registration of the vehicle on or before the date on which the policy of liability insurance covering the vehicle is cancelled or expires.

3. As used in this section, "extenuating circumstances" means that the motor vehicle was neither insured nor operated during a specific period because of circumstances beyond the control of the registered owner that are acceptable to the Department, including, without limitation, the hospitalization of the registered owner, the serious illness or death of a member of the immediate family of the registered owner, or any other catastrophic event.
