This bill amends section 75-307 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to establish new insurance requirements for certain motor carriers in Nebraska. Specifically, it mandates that certificated intrastate motor carriers, those transporting household goods, and motor carriers transporting railroad employees must provide a minimum of one million dollars in uninsured and underinsured insurance coverage per occupant when setting their insurance rates. This new requirement is aimed at enhancing the protection of individuals involved in transportation services provided by these carriers.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the commission has the authority to classify motor carriers based on the hazards associated with their operations and the value of the goods transported. It also specifies that the provisions do not apply to transportation network companies. The original section 75-307 is repealed, indicating that the new language will replace the previous regulations.
