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 set 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 up to thirty days without a displayed license plate if they present proof of registration.

Furthermore, the bill updates the fee structure for license plates, increasing the maximum fee from three dollars and fifty cents to four dollars, and specifies that starting 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 fees for duplicate registration certificates and decals, and the inclusion of weight or validation decals in the provisions for lost or mutilated items. The bill ultimately aims to streamline the registration process and enhance the efficiency of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
