This legislative bill amends various sections of Nebraska's motor vehicle laws, introducing new definitions such as "amphibious vehicle" and "junk vehicle," while modifying provisions related to vehicle registration and titling, including minibikes and junk vehicles. A significant change is the stipulation that only one license plate will be issued per motor vehicle, along with updates to ignition interlock permit fees and requirements. The bill also enhances the handling of personal information under the Uniform Motor Vehicle Records Disclosure Act and allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to credit funds appropriately. Additionally, it introduces conditions for deferring judgment for defendants, particularly concerning commercial driver's licenses, and eliminates obsolete provisions to improve clarity and efficiency.

Further amendments focus on the issuance and management of vehicle titles, particularly for bonded titles, requiring written notice to all parties with a secured interest in a vehicle. The bill establishes a maximum fee of eight dollars for new license plates, directs all fees collected to the License Plate Cash Fund starting in 2029, and introduces a thirty-day grace period for operating a vehicle without a displayed license plate. It also revises fees associated with operator's licenses and state identification cards, streamlining the process for obtaining various permits and licenses. The bill aims to enhance safety, streamline processes, and ensure compliance with state and federal laws regarding motor vehicles in Nebraska, with an immediate effective date upon passage due to an emergency.
