This bill amends section 60-3,163.02 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, to introduce the University of Nebraska State Museum License Plates. The Department of Motor Vehicles is tasked with creating up to three designs for these plates in collaboration with the University of Nebraska and a qualifying nonprofit organization. The designs will reflect support for various museums managed by the University, such as Ashfall Fossil Beds and Morrill Hall. The bill establishes the University of Nebraska State Museum License Plate Cash Fund, which will receive fees from the sale of these plates, starting January 1, 2027, and will be used to promote education and outreach related to science and natural history.
Additionally, the bill eliminates obsolete provisions and repeals the original section 60-3,163.02. It also includes a variety of other license plate types, each with designated recipients for the fees collected, such as the Nebraska Cornhusker Spirit Plates and the Support Our Troops Plates. The changes aim to enhance support for educational and conservation efforts in Nebraska while streamlining the existing license plate framework.
