Bill > AB140

This bill revises the provisions governing driver authorization cards in Nevada, primarily changing how and when these cards expire. Currently, driver authorization cards expire every four years, but the bill modifies this requirement so that the expiration will be determined by regulations to be adopted by the Department of Motor Vehicles, similar to how driver's licenses are currently handled. The bill requires that, to the extent consistent with federal law, the period between issuance and expiration of a driver authorization card should be the same as for a driver's license. This means the Department of Motor Vehicles must create new regulations that standardize the expiration process for these cards. Driver authorization cards are typically issued to individuals who are not eligible for a standard driver's license, such as undocumented residents, and are not valid for determining eligibility for state benefits or services. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, giving the Department of Motor Vehicles time to develop and implement the new regulations governing card expiration.
