Expenditures:
The Nebraska Secretary of State has indicated that due to a n estimated 30% reduction in the number of records purchased (utilizing an
estimate provided by the D MV), would likely reduce their expendi tures by $224,000 in FY2025-26 and $248,000 in FY2026-27.
Additionally, the agency has noted the possibility that this reduction in records and subsequent reduced funding for the Nebraska State
Records Board portal manager, Tyler Nebraska, may potentially impact the future cost and availability of portal services for the state.

Revenues:
The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is estimating LB114 would increase total revenues by $12,163,000 in FY2025-26
and $12,163,000 in FY2026-27 , with the distribution as follows:
1. Changing the Driver Record Abstract ($7.50 up to $24.00), with an estimated 665,000 sold during each fiscal year, would
increase revenues credited to the State General Fund and the D MV Cash Fund.
2. Increasing the Monitoring Service Fee ($ .06 per operating record to $.30 ) would generate an estimated $2,100,000 cash
funding each year of the biennium for the DMV Cash Fund.
3. The Driver Record Header Information fees (increased from $18 per 1,000 records to $30), would increase r evenues $19,000
in cash funding credited to the DMV Cash Fund.
4. Individual Vehicle Records fee increases (from $1.00 to $3.00) would generate and additional $1,000,000 in cash funding each
year of the biennium. Currently, the $1.00 fee equates to a $175,000 credited to the DMV Cash Fund. The new statute
language would instead move all of the credit for these records to the DMV License Plate Cash Fund. As both of these funds
are for the DMV, the increase amount only is $1,000,000 in both years of the bien nium.
5. The fee per 1,000 Vehicle Records will be increased (from $18 to $40 per thousand), with the increase estimated to be
$209,000 in cash fundin g each year of the biennium. The increased amount only of this fee is to be credited to the DMV Cash
Fund, with the original fee portion not being diverted from the Secretary of State.

Explanation of Estimate:
This legislation has four fee increases that will have a fiscal impact. First, changing the Driver Record
Abstract from $7.50 to $24.00, with the increase in revenue being credited to the State General Fund
and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Cash Fund. The Department estimates that 665,000
Driver Records will be sold during each fiscal year . Second, the Monitoring Service Fee will be
increased from $0.06 per operating record to $0.30 per record. This $0.24 increase will all be
credited to the DMV Cash Fund. This increase will generate an estimated $2,100,000 per fiscal year.
Third, Driver Record Header Information fees will be increased from $18 per 1,000 records to $30 per
1,000 records. This will generate an estimated $19,000 in revenue to the DMV Cash Fund per fiscal
year. The last fee increase will be for Vehicle Records. There are two different fees associated with
this increase. First, the individual record search will increase from $1.00 to $3.00. This fee increase
will generate an estimated $1,000,000 each fiscal year. The new rate will all be credited to the DMV
License Plate Cash Fund of $1,175,000. Currently, the DMV Cash Fund is credited for the DMV
portion of the $1 fee. This will result in a loss of revenue to the DMV Cash Fund of $175,000 per
fiscal year. The fee for records requested over 1,000 will be increased from $18 per thousand, to $40
per thousand. The total amount of revenue generated from these increases will be estimated to be
$209,000 annually. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2025. The annual total fiscal
impact is estimated to be $12,163,000.
The net breakdown of for each funding source is as follows:
State General Fund $7,433,750
DMV Cash Fund $4,979,250
Secretary of State $ (285,000)
DLS Modernization Fund $(1,140,000)
DMV License Plate Cash Fund $1,150,000

Explanation of Estimate:
LB114 proposes to significantly increase the Driver License Record fee from $7.50 per record to $24.00 per
record. The Secretary of State’s Records Management (RM) Cash Fund receives $1.00 per record of this fee.
LB114 does not propose to change the $1.00 sent to the RM Cash Fund; however, due to the significant
increase in fees, the DMV does estimate a 30% reduction in records purchased. As a result of the reduced
sales, we would expect to receive $280 ,000 less in revenue in FY26 and $310,000 less in FY27. In
accordance with the State Records Board portal manager agreement, 80% of these fees are paid to Tyler
Nebraska, so expenditures would also see a reduction of $224,000 in FY26 and $248,000 in FY27, for a net
loss to the RM Cash Fund of $56,000 in FY26 and $62,000 in FY27 (and onward). Amounts paid to Tyler
Nebraska under the portal manager agreement fund operation of Nebraska.gov, the self -funding portal which
provides electronic access to public records, information, and services. Tyler Nebraska supports over 1,200
applications and service installations and 80 websites for state and local agencies. A reduction in funding for
the portal may impact the availability of portal services and therefore, could have additional financial
implications for other agencies.
