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 a 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 the possibility of charging a postage and handling fee. It also allows consumers to operate their vehicles for 30 days without a displayed license plate if they present proof of registration.

The bill further revises the fee structure for license plates, reducing the maximum fee from $4.25 to $4, and specifies that beginning with the 2029 license plate issuance cycle, all fees collected 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 inclusion of weight or validation decals in the provisions for lost or mutilated items. The original sections being amended are repealed, streamlining the legal framework surrounding motor vehicle registration in Nebraska.
