The bill amends various sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, focusing on the fees and procedures related to the Secretary of State's office, particularly concerning the filing and management of liens and effective financing statements. Key changes include the introduction of a nonrefundable fee structure for services such as requesting certificates and bulk data related to the Uniform Commercial Code. The bill also establishes that the annual registration fee for accessing master lien lists will be determined by the Secretary of State, capped at $200 per year. Additionally, it clarifies that any funds collected from these fees will be remitted to the State Treasurer for credit to the Secretary of State Cash Fund.

Moreover, the bill emphasizes the use of electronic means for filing notices of liens and certificates, streamlining the process for both real and personal property. It repeals outdated sections, including section 52-1313.01, and modifies the filing process to allow for electronic submissions, ensuring that notices are retained in a designated file. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the filing system, reduce unnecessary fees, and enhance the efficiency of the Secretary of State's operations in managing lien registrations.
