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 includes the stipulation that only one license plate will be issued for each motor vehicle starting January 1, 2029, along with the introduction of a license decal for vehicles without a front plate bracket. The bill also updates fees and requirements for ignition interlock permits, establishes a multiyear registration option for vehicles, and revises the process for obtaining bonded certificates of title, ensuring that applicants notify all parties with secured interests in the vehicle.

Additionally, the bill replaces the term "surcharge" with "fee" in the context of operator's licenses and state identification cards, with a maximum fee set at eight dollars. It outlines the process for obtaining various permits, including provisional operator's permits, and emphasizes the importance of completing driver safety courses. The bill also includes provisions for ignition interlock devices, requiring installation during revocation periods and creating a fund to assist low-income individuals with associated costs. Several sections of existing statutes are repealed to streamline the regulatory framework, and the bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage due to an emergency clause.
