Bill > LB563

This bill introduces a new category of permanent trailer license plates specifically for commercial fertilizer trailers, which are defined as trailers owned by businesses that sell agricultural fertilizer or agricultural chemicals. Starting January 1, 2026, owners of commercial fertilizer trailers can register for a permanent license plate by paying a one-dollar fee and submitting an application to the state's motor vehicle department. The permanent license plate will remain affixed to the trailer as long as it is owned by the original registrant, and the owner must return the plate if the trailer is sold or no longer registered. The bill includes provisions for plate replacement if lost or destroyed, with a one-dollar replacement fee, and requires the registrant to return the plate upon transfer of ownership. The renewal fee for the permanent trailer license plate will be one dollar per license period after the initial issuance. This change is part of an amendment to the Motor Vehicle Registration Act and is designed to provide a simpler registration process for commercial fertilizer trailer owners.
