Introduced Text

Nebraska LB227 amends provisions for motor carriers, focusing on the authorization to operate and the burden of proof for applicants.

Nebraska LB227 modifies the criteria for authorizing motor carriers to operate, emphasizing the burden of proof for applicants. It requires applicants to demonstrate their fitness and the public need for their proposed service. The bill also shifts the burden to protestants to show that existing carriers can meet the need or that the applicant's service would harm existing operations. Additionally, it repeals certain sections and changes the process for designating authority for medicaid nonemergency medical transportation services.
