LB909, introduced by Brainard Sen. Bruce Bostelman, requires that certificates of title for assembled and kit vehicles include the year, make and model that the vehicle resembles. The title also must indicate that the vehicle is reconstructed.<\/p>\n

A vehicle owner can apply for a title by presenting a certificate of title for one major component part, a notarized bill of sale for all other major component parts that have been replaced, a statement that an inspection has been conducted on the vehicle and a vehicle identification number.<\/p>\n

The certificate will include the year application for the title was made and the make of the vehicle as assembled. The base registration fee for assembled, reconstructed and replica vehicles is $5, the same as automobiles with a new value of less than $20,000.<\/p>\n

The bill includes provisions of 10 additional bills, including:
\n\u2022 LB900, introduced by Bostelman, which updates references to federal transportation laws and increase fines for certain motor carrier statute violations;
\n\u2022 LB860, introduced by Henderson Sen. Curt Friesen, which provides compensation for motor vehicle dealers affected by recalls and stop-sale orders;
\n\u2022 LB980, introduced by Syracuse Sen. Dan Watermeier, which allows for the transportation of divisible loads of hay bales on the interstate;
\n\u2022 LB1011, introduced by Omaha Sen. Burke Harr, which requires a driver approaching a tow truck, maintenance vehicle or garbage or recycling service vehicle to proceed with caution and move over if possible;
\n\u2022 LB1092, introduced by Papillion Sen. Jim Smith, which creates separate procedures for operators of autocycles that are not completely enclosed;
\n\u2022 LB740, introduced by Omaha Sen. Brett Lindstrom, which allows the Metropolitan Utilities District to register vehicles in the same manner as public power districts beginning Jan. 1, 2023;
\n\u2022 LB895, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Suzanne Geist, which makes a series of technical updates to current DMV statutes;
\n\u2022 LB896, also introduced by Geist, which clarifies that the operative date for certain sections relating to electronic certificates of title would be no later than Jan. 1, 2021;
\n\u2022 LB1049, introduced by Harr, which amends the definition of low-speed vehicles to include certain three-wheeled motor vehicles; and
\n\u2022 LB1136, introduced by Elmwood Sen. Robert Clements, which provides a mechanism for online auto auctions to obtain titles for vehicles purchased as salvage vehicles.<\/p>\n
