NAC706.3741. “TX” plates; enforcement.

     1. Upon receipt from a certificate holder of the fee for the commencement of operation of a taxicab required pursuant to NRS 706.471, the Authority will issue to the certificate holder a plate that identifies the taxicab for which the plate is issued. The Authority will ensure that the plate is imprinted with a unique number preceded by the letters “TX.”

     2. The certificate holder:

     (a) Shall ensure that the plate is affixed to the right side of the trunk lid of the taxicab that the plate identifies.

     (b) Shall not allow a taxicab owned by the certificate holder to be operated unless the plate is affixed in the manner described in paragraph (a).

     (c) Shall return to the Authority all plates with the designation “TX” that are not in use.

     3. If the plate is lost or stolen, the certificate holder shall:

     (a) Notify the Authority of that fact; and

     (b) Except as otherwise provided in this section, pay to the Authority an amount equal to the annual fee prescribed in NAC 706.3615 for replacement of the plate. The Authority will prorate the fee for a replacement plate if the plate is issued for less than a full calendar year.

     4. If the Authority determines that a taxicab is being operated without the plate required pursuant to this section, the Authority will cause the taxicab to be withdrawn from service. The taxicab must not be placed back in service until the plate or a replacement plate has been obtained and affixed as required pursuant to subsection 2.
