Certain county-numbered license plates eliminated

Some Nebraska counties will have different license plate numbers under a bill passed by the Legislature March 3.

Currently, farm truck and trailer registrations in counties with populations over 100,000 display county-numbered license plates. These include Douglas, Lancaster and Sarpy counties.

Under LB811, introduced by Bancroft Sen. Lydia Brasch, these vehicles instead will use the alphanumeric system otherwise used in those counties, which displays three letters followed by three numbers.

The bill passed on a 47-0 vote.
