Maddy summaryLB 667 amends Nebraska's Motor Vehicle Industry Regulation Act to require new vehicle manufacturers and distributors to pay dealers fair compensation for warranty service work, including diagnostics, repairs, parts, and labor. It mandates that compensation rates match what dealers charge retail customers for similar services (excluding routine maintenance like oil changes, tire replacements, or brake work), and sets clear rules for calculating part markups based on dealers' actual retail sales data. Manufacturers must provide written schedules of compensation and cannot unreasonably deny dealer requests for adjusted time allowances or payment rates. The bill directly affects new vehicle dealers and manufacturers by standardizing warranty payment terms and preventing unfair financial burdens.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Nebraska's County Visitors Improvement Fund law to clarify how grants are administered and distributed. It specifies that county governing bodies, with input from visitor committees, manage the fund to provide grants for expanding or improving public or nonprofit visitor attractions (like museums or parks), with annual limits of either 1% of county sales tax revenue or $5,000. The bill also clarifies that bonds issued by grant recipients using these funds do not count as county debt or liability. It directly affects counties and nonprofit organizations operating visitor attractions seeking funding for facility improvements or new exhibits.
