This bill amends the Motor Vehicle Operator's License Act in Nebraska by updating the definitions and provisions related to the operation of motor vehicles by noncitizens. Specifically, it redefines "operator's or driver's license" to clarify that it includes various types of licenses and permits issued under Nebraska law, while explicitly stating that it does not include any license, permit, or document issued to individuals who are not U.S. citizens and do not have lawful status in the United States. Additionally, the bill modifies the provisions regarding nonresidents operating motor vehicles in Nebraska, stating that such immunity does not extend to individuals who lack U.S. citizenship and lawful status.

The bill also makes several changes to the language in existing statutes, such as replacing "shall mean" with "means" and removing certain phrases to streamline the text. It clarifies that nonresidents can operate vehicles in Nebraska for a limited time, but this does not apply to those without lawful status. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, ensuring that the new definitions and provisions take precedence.
