This legislative bill amends various sections of Nebraska's motor vehicle laws, introducing new definitions such as "amphibious vehicle" and "junk vehicle," while modifying existing provisions related to vehicle registration and titling, particularly for 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 license plates and ignition interlock permits. The bill also establishes a multiyear registration option for vehicles, allowing owners to register for one, two, or three years, and clarifies the process for surrendering titles for junk vehicles and mobile homes.
Additionally, the bill replaces the term "surcharge" with "fee" in the context of operator's licenses and state identification cards, ensuring that fees do not exceed eight dollars. It outlines the process for obtaining various permits, including provisional operator's permits, and emphasizes the importance of digital documentation. The bill also introduces provisions for ignition interlock devices, including the creation of an Ignition Interlock Fund to assist low-income individuals. Furthermore, it repeals several outdated sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, declaring an emergency for immediate effect upon passage and approval to address current legal issues.
