This bill introduces the Husker Red License Plates as a new type of alternate license plate in Nebraska, which will feature a scarlet-colored background and cream-colored characters. The designated recipient for the fees collected from these plates will be the Highway Cash Fund, and applications for these plates will be accepted starting January 1, 2027. Additionally, the bill makes several amendments to existing sections regarding alternate license plates, including the renumbering of existing plate types and the elimination of obsolete provisions.

Furthermore, the bill amends the provisions related to the Highway Cash Fund and the Roads Operations Cash Fund, allowing for the inclusion of funds from various sources, including those generated from the new Husker Red License Plates. It specifies the purposes for which these funds can be used, such as acquiring real estate and materials for highway construction and maintenance, as well as supporting public transportation programs. The bill also repeals the original sections of the law that are being amended.
