Provide for Husker Red License Plates
Nebraska bill LB 1099 creates "Husker Red" license plates as a new option for drivers, featuring a scarlet background with cream-colored text. These plates are designed to support University of Nebraska athletics and will be available for application starting January 1, 2027. Fees collected from these plates (set at $70 per application) will be split 60% to the Department of Motor Vehicles Cash Fund and 40% to the Highway Cash Fund. The bill amends existing license plate statutes to add this option alongside other specialty plates like Arbor Day and Breast Cancer Awareness plates.
