Governor signs measure to create special license plates

Friday, April 30, 1999 | 5:31 a.m.

SB204 also authorizes the board of the Las Vegas Valley Water District to establish and maintain the Big Spring Archaeological District.

The 180-acre site near U.S. 95 and Valley View Boulevard contains the springs and meadows where 19th century travelers along the old Spanish Trail stopped and dubbed the place Las Vegas.

Under the bill, a special license plate will be designed in the coming year by the Las Vegas Springs Preservation Foundation and the state Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Safety.

Nevadans can buy the plates for an extra charge of $35 above the normal cost of the plates. Of the money, $25 wiill go to the Big Spring preserve. Annual renewal of the plates will cost an extra $25, with $20 going to the preserve.
