DMV updates passed

Senators passed a bill March 24 that updates state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) policy dates.

LB776, introduced by Kearney Sen. Galen Hadley, makes state laws administered by the DMV consistent with federal laws by amending reference dates in several statutes. Included in the updates is a requirement that DMV employees who handle licensing and registration documentation be subject to background checks.

The bill, which goes into immediate effect, passed on a 47-0 vote.
