Allow operation of registered motor vehicles with either one or two license plates

Nebraska bill LB 279 would change the state's vehicle registration law to allow most passenger vehicles to display only one license plate (instead of two) when operated on highways. Currently, most vehicles require plates on both front and rear, but this bill would require only a rear plate for standard passenger cars, with a $50 annual fee for those opting for the single-plate option (plus a windshield decal). It specifically amends sections of the Motor Vehicle Registration Act to replace the two-plate requirement with a single-plate standard for most vehicles, while maintaining existing exceptions for certain vehicle types like trailers and motorcycles. The bill does not affect current registration fees for vehicles already displaying two plates.
