Owners of clean fuel-burning vehicles can receive a rebate under a bill passed by the Legislature May 29.<\/p>\n
Under LB581, introduced by Omaha Sen. Jeremy Nordquist, the owner of a qualifying vehicle can apply for the rebate as long as the applicant has not claimed another rebate or incentive for the same vehicle.<\/p>\n
The bill defines qualified clean-burning motor vehicle fuel as hydrogen fuel cell, compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas or gasoline containing at least 15 percent ethanol.<\/p>\n
An applicant who has installed conversion equipment in their vehicle can receive the lesser amount of $4,500 or 50 percent of the cost of conversion.<\/p>\n
A rebate of $2,500 or 50 percent of the cost of conversion also is available for property that is directly related to the compression and delivery of natural gas from a private home or residence, for noncommercial purposes, into a fuel tank of a motor vehicle propelled by natural gas.<\/p>\n
The bill passed on a 41-4 vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
