* A Legislative Bill was introduced this session that will provide for a Czech Heritage License Plate.
The hearing for bill, LB140, was held Monday (January 23) in front of the Transportation & Telecommunications Committee. Those, from our club, testifying in favor of the bill; Mila Saskova-Pierce, Layne Pierce and Linda Taborek. Several other folks testified in favor of the Bill. Four written support comments received. There was no testimony in opposition.
On February 24, LB140 had been placed on Select File. This is the 2nd round of debate on the Floor.
LB140, as with other Bills this session, remains in it's present status as a group of lawmakers filibuster and
continue to slow down this year's Legislative session. It would appear that we continue to wait patiently.
.....and we're waiting and waiting and waiting....someday something might happen....maybe.
We will continue to track progress and post the results here.....please check back for new updates.
