A bill expanding online driver\u2019s license renewals received final reading approval Feb. 4.<\/p>\n
LB158, introduced by Valentine Sen. Deb Fischer, expands the upper age limit for online driver\u2019s license renewals and provides opportunities for younger drivers to obtain new licenses online.<\/p>\n
Prior law permitted individuals aged 21 to 65 with digital signatures and photos on file with the state Department of Motor Vehicles to renew their class O driver\u2019s licenses or class M motorcyclist licenses online.<\/p>\n
LB158 extends this age range to 72 and permits persons under 21 who have completed all required examinations to apply for their operator\u2019s licenses electronically using rules prescribed by the DMV.<\/p>\n
The bill also prohibits those who fail a driving test for a class O driver\u2019s license or class M motorcyclist license three times from retaking the test until they complete a driver\u2019s safety course or hold a learner\u2019s permit for at least 90 days. This is a change from prior law, which required completion of a driver\u2019s safety course after six failed attempts.<\/p>\n
