This bill amends several sections of Nebraska's motor vehicle registration laws to introduce new provisions for the delivery of license plates and registration certificates, as well as to modify existing fee structures. Notably, it allows for the option of multiyear registration periods of two or three years, beginning on an implementation date designated by the director on or before January 1, 2029. Additionally, the bill permits the department to deliver license plates and registration certificates via mail or alternative shipping services, with a potential postage and handling fee to be charged to applicants. It also allows consumers to operate their vehicles for thirty days without a displayed license plate if they present proof of registration.

Furthermore, the bill updates the fee structure for license plates, changing the maximum fee from four dollars and twenty-five cents to four dollars, and specifies that beginning with the 2029 license plate issuance cycle, fees will be credited to the License Plate Cash Fund instead of the Highway Trust Fund. Other amendments include the introduction of a fee for duplicate registration certificates and decals, and the requirement for validation decals to be affixed to license plates. The bill repeals the original sections that are being amended, ensuring that the new provisions take effect.
