This bill amends Nebraska's statutes concerning license plates, particularly focusing on Military Honor Plates, prisoner-of-war plates, disabled veteran plates, and Purple Heart plates. A significant addition is the provision for issuing Military Honor Plates for members of the United States Space Force, with designs available starting January 1, 2026. The bill increases the number of designs for Military Honor Plates from twelve to thirteen and introduces new designs for veterans awarded specific campaign medals. It also establishes new eligibility criteria, including proof of disability and a registry for verification, while assigning new responsibilities to the Department of Motor Vehicles for application processing and eligibility verification through the Department of Veterans' Affairs.

Additionally, the bill specifies that starting January 1, 2026, new license plates for disabled veterans will display "disabled veteran" below the license plate number, which will become invalid for use after February 1, 2027. Eligibility for these plates is extended to veterans classified as at least ten percent service-connected disabled by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill removes the license plate fee requirement and allows for temporary license stickers while awaiting permanent plates. It also permits trusts that own vehicles to apply for these specialized plates if a designated beneficiary qualifies, and it repeals certain outdated sections of existing law.
