Bill > LB543

This bill modifies several provisions related to motor vehicle registration and license plates in Nebraska. It introduces the option for vehicle owners to register for multi-year periods (two or three years) starting on an implementation date designated by the director before January 1, 2029. The bill authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to deliver license plates and registration certificates by mail or alternative shipping service, with the option to charge a postage and handling fee to cover mailing costs. It adjusts the license plate fee cap to four dollars and twenty-five cents and changes the destination of these fees to the License Plate Cash Fund beginning in the 2029 license plate issuance cycle. The bill also provides that consumers can operate a vehicle for 30 days with proof of registration while waiting for mailed license plates. Additional modifications include updates to the procedures for obtaining duplicate registration certificates and license plates, with a one-dollar fee for duplicating registration documents and a two-dollar and fifty-cent fee for duplicate license plates. These changes aim to provide more flexibility in vehicle registration and streamline the license plate and registration processes for Nebraska residents.
