LB 15 Nebraska · 108th Legislature First Special Session

Change requirements relating to proposals for constitutional amendments submitted by the Legislature

This bill would change the rules for how legislative proposals for constitutional amendments are presented to voters in Nebraska. It requires the state's Legislative Council to prepare a neutral, plain-language explanation of the proposal's effects and print it on the ballot at least four months before a general election. The bill also specifies that this explanation must be written in italics and avoid taking sides or creating bias. Additionally, it exempts proposals placed on special election ballots from this four-month preparation timeline.
