Owners of certain vehicles would need only one license plate under a bill advanced from general file Feb. 3.<\/p>\n
LB53, introduced by Norfolk Sen. Jim Scheer, would exempt from the state\u2019s two license plate requirement owners of cars not manufactured to be equipped with a front license plate bracket.<\/p>\n
Scheer said eight similar exemptions currently exist for certain vehicles, including those owned by auto dealers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Nebraska we already provide several types of vehicles with only one license plate,\u201d he said. \u201c[LB53] would allow Nebraskans the ability to obey the law without drilling holes into their vehicle for a license plate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eligible vehicle owners would be issued a decal to be displayed on the lower left corner of the vehicle\u2019s front windshield. A Scheer amendment, adopted 32-0, would establish an annual $100 fee for the decal.<\/p>\n
Sen. Curt Friesen of Henderson opposed the bill. He said there could be enforcement issues if LB53 were passed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be difficult [for law enforcement] to enforce this without knowing which cars are eligible or not when they stop these vehicles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The bill advanced to select file on a 25-3 vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
