This bill amends the Nebraska Revised Statutes to enhance motor vehicle liability insurance and financial responsibility requirements. It raises the minimum coverage limits for uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance from $25,000 to $50,000 for bodily injury or death of one person in an accident, and from $50,000 to $100,000 for two or more persons. Additionally, it mandates that proof of financial responsibility must reflect these increased limits, ensuring adequate coverage for individuals involved in accidents. The bill also addresses the operation of golf car vehicles, allowing local governments to create ordinances for their use on streets adjacent to golf courses, provided operators have a valid Class O license and liability insurance.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that individuals operating golf cars must possess a valid Class O operator's license and that the vehicle's owner must maintain liability insurance coverage. It outlines conditions for crossing highways, including a complete stop and yielding to oncoming traffic. The legislation clarifies definitions for "road" and "street" in relation to vehicular travel and is set to become operative on January 1, 2027. It also repeals several original sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska.
