As soon as practicable after receiving the application, fee and evidence of insurance, the Department shall issue the farm license plate to the agricultural user to affix to the implement of husbandry. The farm license plate is not transferable and must be surrendered or returned to the Department within 60 days after a transfer of ownership or interest in the implement of husbandry occurs.2.
The Department shall suspend a farm license plate issued pursuant to subsection 1 and require the return of the license plate to the Department if the agricultural user is not the holder of a policy of liability insurance specified in subsection 1. The Department shall reissue the farm license plate only upon evidence satisfactory to the Department that the agricultural user is the holder of a policy of liability insurance which meets the requirements of subsection 1 and the payment of a nonrefundable fee of $100 plus the fees required pursuant to NRS 482.268.3.
