1. A policy of insurance against liability arising out of the ownership, maintenance or use of a motor vehicle delivered or issued for delivery in this State to a person who is 55 years of age or older must contain a provision for the reduction in the premiums for 3-year periods if the insured:

(a)Successfully completes, after attaining 55 years of age and every 3 years thereafter, a course of traffic safety approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles; and

(b)For the 3-year period before completing the course of traffic safety and each 3-year period thereafter:

(1)Is not involved in a crash involving a motor vehicle for which the insured is at fault;

(2)Maintains a driving record free of violations; and

(3)Has not been convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty, guilty but mentally ill or nolo contendere to, a moving traffic violation or an offense involving:

(I)The operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a controlled substance; or

(II)Any other conduct prohibited by NRS 484C.110 , 484C.120 , 484C.130 or 484C.430 or a law of any other jurisdiction that prohibits the same or similar conduct.

2. The reduction in the premiums provided for in subsection 1 must be based on the actuarial and loss experience data available to each insurer and must be approved by the Commissioner. Each reduction must be calculated based on the amount of the premium before any reduction in that premium is made pursuant to this section, and not on the amount of the premium once it has been reduced.

3. A course of traffic safety that an insured is required to complete as the result of moving traffic violations must not be used as the basis for a reduction in premiums pursuant to this section.

4. The organization that offers a course of traffic safety approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles shall issue a certificate to each person who successfully completes the course. A person must use the certificate to qualify for the reduction in the premiums pursuant to this section.

5. The Commissioner shall review and approve or disapprove a policy of insurance that offers a reduction in the premiums pursuant to subsection 1. An insurer must receive written approval from the Commissioner before delivering or issuing a policy with a provision containing such a reduction.
