Lawmakers gave first-round approval March 29 to a bill that would impose new requirements on individuals seeking certain armed services license plates.<\/p>\n

Sen. Tim Gragert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LB78, sponsored by Creighton Sen. Tim Gragert, would require an individual applying for a Gold Star Family, Ex-Prisoner of War, Disabled American Veteran or Purple Heart\/Combat Wounded license plate to register first with the state Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs.<\/p>\n

The state Department of Motor Vehicles would use the registry information to verify an individual\u2019s eligibility.<\/p>\n

Gragert said the Nebraska Veteran\u2019s Council has received complaints that individuals have received military honor license plates to which they were not entitled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe LB78 is a good bill as it would give veterans\u2019 groups the peace of mind knowing that only eligible persons will be authorized to receive these plates,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Brainard Sen. Bruce Bostelman spoke in support of LB78. It is unfortunate that the bill is needed, he said, but the registry would remove any doubt at the county level about an individual\u2019s eligibility.<\/p>\n

The bill advanced to select file on a 45-0 vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
