This bill amends various sections of Nebraska's motor vehicle laws, focusing on updates to designated parking for handicapped individuals, terminology changes regarding license suspensions to revocations for certain convictions, and enhanced penalties for motor vehicle homicide. It introduces new regulations for bonded certificates of title for motorboats, requiring written notice to secured parties, and outlines the process for issuing "In Transit" placards for unregistered vehicles. Additionally, the bill eliminates special interest motor vehicle license plates, replacing them with "Choice Color Plates," and modifies military service provisions related to operator's licenses, while streamlining the overall regulatory framework.

Key changes also include updates to the application process for motor vehicle and trailer registrations, requiring full legal names and identification numbers for owners, and specifying acceptable proof of ownership for trailers without titles. Starting January 1, 2029, only one license plate will be issued per registered vehicle, and applications for special interest plates will no longer be accepted after December 31, 2028. The bill also revises towing regulations, updates operator's license application processes, and introduces new requirements for snowmobile operation, including raising the minimum age from twelve to sixteen. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance safety, streamline processes, and clarify existing laws.
