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 starting January 1, 2029, along with updated fees for ignition interlock permits and a new fee structure for operator's licenses and state identification cards. The bill also enhances the handling of personal information under the Uniform Motor Vehicle Records Disclosure Act and ensures compliance with federal regulations regarding deferred judgments for certain offenses, particularly for commercial license holders.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for obtaining various permits, including learner's and provisional operator's permits, and emphasizes the completion of driver safety courses. It modifies the language concerning fees, replacing "fee and surcharge" with "fees" throughout relevant sections, and introduces provisions for electronic methods of obtaining and renewing commercial driver's licenses. The bill also establishes the Department of Motor Vehicles Ignition Interlock Fund to assist individuals with the costs of ignition interlock devices, ensuring compliance with court orders. Furthermore, it repeals several sections of existing statutes to streamline operations and will take effect immediately upon passage due to the urgency of the changes.
