AI Summary

This bill provides for the creation of Arbor Day Plates and the Home of Arbor Day Plate Cash Fund while making comprehensive changes to Nebraska's license plate statutes. The bill consolidates and restructures various specialty license plate provisions, creating a standardized framework for alternate license plates with specific design requirements and designated fund recipients for each type of plate. It introduces 18 different types of alternate license plates, including Arbor Day Plates, Breast Cancer Awareness Plates, Choose Life Plates, and others, each with unique design specifications and designated fund recipients. The bill creates a new Home of Arbor Day Plate Cash Fund to be administered by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, which will use funds from the Arbor Day Plates to support the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum for tree planting, garden making, community building, and environmental education. Additionally, the bill eliminates several existing specialty license plate statutes, streamlining the license plate registration process and updating the funding mechanisms for various state programs and initiatives. The changes aim to simplify license plate offerings, provide more targeted support for specific causes, and create more efficient administrative processes for license plate registration and fee collection.
