This bill amends section 60-168 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the application process for obtaining duplicate certificates of title for motor vehicles that have lost or mutilated titles. The bill removes the requirement that the application must be "sworn to" by the applicant or an authorized person, streamlining the process for individuals seeking a duplicate title. It maintains the existing procedures for issuing a duplicate title through the county treasurer or the department, including provisions for cases where the original title records have been destroyed.

Additionally, the bill allows purchasers of vehicles with lost or mutilated titles to require the seller to indemnify them against any claims related to the original certificate of title. If the original title is recovered, the owner is required to surrender it for cancellation. The original section 60-168 is repealed, indicating that the new language will replace the previous law entirely.
