The proposed bill amends sections of the Game Law in Nebraska to introduce a new hangtag permit for motor vehicles, effective January 1, 2027. This hangtag permit can be purchased by any person with a resident motor vehicle and will be valid through December 31 of the year it is issued. The fee for the hangtag permit will include the cost of one resident annual permit, one duplicate annual permit, and a convenience fee, which shall not exceed fifteen dollars. The bill also specifies that the hangtag permit can be transferred between motor vehicles registered by the permit holder but cannot be reproduced or replaced if lost or stolen.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing provisions regarding the display and procurement of permits. It clarifies that permits must be clearly visible from outside the vehicle and outlines specific display methods for hangtag permits. The bill also updates the locations where permits can be procured, including designated areas of the Nebraska state park system and through various designated agents. The language regarding the nontransferability of permits is adjusted to specify that only hangtag permits are exempt from this rule. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the permit process and enhance accessibility for residents.
