Bill > LB343

This bill modifies the fee structure for specialty license plates in Nebraska, reducing the fee from $70 to $40 beginning October 1, 2025. The legislation amends an existing statute governing specialty license plates, which are customized vehicle registration plates that vehicle owners can choose instead of standard license plates. Under the new law, applicants for specialty license plates will initially pay a $70 fee until October 1, 2025, after which the fee will decrease to $40. The collected fees will continue to be divided, with 60% going to the Department of Motor Vehicles Cash Fund and 40% to the Highway Trust Fund. The bill maintains existing provisions regarding plate issuance, including allowing plate transfers between vehicles owned by the same person and permitting the county treasurer or department to issue temporary license stickers. Other aspects of specialty plate regulations remain unchanged, such as requirements for commercial and farm vehicles to affix appropriate tonnage decals. The legislation represents a straightforward adjustment to the cost of obtaining specialized vehicle registration plates in Nebraska.
