This bill amends various sections of the Nebraska Revised Statutes to modernize and streamline the regulations surrounding motor vehicle license plates and registration. It introduces new specialty license plates, including Arbor Day Plates, Nebraska History Plates, and several others aimed at supporting various causes such as health awareness, environmental initiatives, and veteran support. The bill establishes new cash funds, such as the Home of Arbor Day Plate Cash Fund and the Spirit Plate Proceeds Fund, which will allocate fees collected from the sale of these plates to designated recipients, including tree planting initiatives and support for former University of Nebraska athletes.

In addition to creating new plates and funds, the bill eliminates obsolete provisions and harmonizes existing laws related to license plates. It updates the terminology by replacing "specialty" with "organizational" in reference to certain plates, and outlines the requirements for organizations to obtain these plates. The legislation also specifies conditions for historical vehicle owners using original license plates and introduces guidelines for the design and issuance of alternate license plates. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the variety of license plates available while ensuring that the associated costs remain manageable and that funds are directed towards beneficial programs and services.
