Change provisions of the Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Act
LB 490 updates Nebraska's Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Act to require titles for specific vehicle types. It mandates titles for new all-terrain vehicles, minibikes, and low-speed vehicles sold after 2004 or 2012, and adds new requirements for agricultural equipment (like fertilizer applicators and hay grinders) starting January 1, 2026. The bill also creates an electronic title and lien system, allowing lienholders and dealers to file liens electronically and replacing paper records for title issuance. These changes directly affect owners of these vehicle types, dealers, and lenders holding liens on vehicles.
