MVILB directs executive director to testify in support of bill to raise license fee maximums
Summary
At its Jan. 22 meeting the Nebraska Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board voted to authorize Executive Director Joshua L. Eickmeier to testify as a proponent for LB 922, a bill introduced by Senator Brandt to increase statutory maximums for licensee fees; Chair Rhonda Lahm abstained.
The Nebraska Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board voted Jan. 22 to authorize Executive Director Joshua L. Eickmeier to testify as a proponent at an upcoming committee hearing on LB 922, a bill introduced by Senator Brandt that would raise statutory maximums for certain license fees.
Board members discussed the proposed legislation during the Executive Director’s report. Eickmeier told the board he plans to appear at the bill hearing scheduled Jan. 26, 2026, and asked for direction on the board’s official position. Chad Tessman moved to allow Eickmeier to testify in support of LB 922; Matt O’Daniel seconded the motion. The motion carried on a roll-call vote with Rhonda Lahm recorded as abstaining and no opposing votes reported.
The board did not record additional debate on specific fee levels in the meeting minutes. Board members present at the meeting — Brad Jacobs, Clint Jones, Thomas McCaslin, Matt O’Daniel, Blake Dillon, Steven Matus, Dennis Butler and Chad Tessman — were listed in attendance and are reflected in the roll-call action. The board’s decision directs the executive director to appear as a proponent at the scheduled committee hearing.
The committee hearing for LB 922 is scheduled for Jan. 26, 2026. The board also discussed two other bills, LB 1121 and LB 1223, but did not take formal votes on those measures at this meeting. The board’s authorization applies only to testimony at the hearing; it does not itself change statute or fee levels.
