Legislative clerk reads lengthy slate of new bills, reissues and statutory changes
Summary
The clerk read dozens of new bills and statutory reissues ranging from an omnibus appropriations bill (LB 177) to measures on election law, public power, AI transparency, housing permitting, and workers' compensation; the readings send the items to reference and committee hearings.
After the governor's address, the clerk read an extended list of new bills and statutory reissues that were introduced on the floor or at the governor's request. Items included an appropriations bill (LB 177) that references numerous 2025 laws and sections for amending and harmonizing appropriations; Speaker Arch, at the governor's request, introduced several bills relating to government reissues and appropriations.
The clerk listed many bills by number and sponsor, including bills addressing commercial motor vehicle operator training (human trafficking and anti‑trafficking training), amendments to the election act (petition circulator requirements and ballot procedures), creation of a Nebraska Ireland Commission, by‑right housing permitting, consumer protection and an artificial intelligence transparency and risk management act, revisions to workers' compensation provisions, and changes to liquor licensing procedures. The clerk also noted statutory reissues and supplemental changes to numerous Revised Statutes of Nebraska sections.
Several bills were explicitly identified as introduced "at the request of the governor," and others were identified by senator sponsors (for example, LB 1073 by Senator Boson and LB 1076 by Senator Brandt). The clerk also noted committee hearing notices and reference committee reports; names were added to various bills and some names were withdrawn.
The slate of bills will be referred to committee for hearings and further action; the clerk's reading concluded with routine committee and reference notices and a motion later to adjourn.
