This bill amends sections 75-305 and 75-328 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, specifically addressing the regulations surrounding transportation network companies (TNCs). It introduces a new structure for annual fees that TNCs must pay, allowing them to choose between an annual flat fee not exceeding $25,000 or an annual per-vehicle fee not exceeding $80 for each personal vehicle operated by their drivers. The bill mandates that the commission establish the amount of these fees to ensure they do not exceed what is necessary for the administration and enforcement of relevant laws.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for personal vehicles used by TNCs. It removes the detailed list of components that must be inspected for compliance with the Motor Vehicle Registration Act, streamlining the process. The original sections that outlined the inspection requirements and the need for annual inspections have been deleted, indicating a shift towards a less stringent regulatory framework for personal vehicles used in TNC operations. The bill ultimately aims to simplify the regulatory landscape for TNCs while ensuring that necessary fees are collected for oversight.
