LB 786 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to Military Honor Plates under the Motor Vehicle Registration Act, create a fund, provide for grants to certain needy service members, and provide duties to the Adjutant General

LB 786 creates new military honor license plate designs for Nebraska residents who served in all 11 U.S. military branches (including the Space Force), specific campaign medal recipients (like the Inherent Resolve Medal), and veterans with disabilities (including a wheelchair symbol option). It requires verification through the Department of Veterans' Affairs, limits plate costs to match standard plates, and specifies design rules for alphanumeric and personalized message plates. The bill also includes a sunset clause that would stop issuing certain plates if fewer than 100 are registered annually for two consecutive years. This directly affects eligible veterans, active service members, and those with qualifying military service or disabilities.
