Czech heritage license plates approved

Senators passed a bill Feb. 8 creating a new specialty license plate celebrating Czech heritage.

LB140, introduced by Plymouth Sen. Tom Brandt, authorizes the state Department of Motor Vehicles — in consultation with the Czech Honorary Consul of Nebraska — to design and issue Czech heritage motor vehicle license plates.

The fee for alphanumeric plates will be $5, and a personalized license plate will cost $40. All funds will be credited to the Department of Motor Vehicles Cash Fund.

The bill passed on a vote of 45-0.
