LB 18 Nebraska · 108th Legislature First Special Session

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

This bill updates the rules for how the Nebraska Legislature prepares voter information for constitutional amendment proposals. It requires the Legislative Council to create a neutral, plain-language summary explaining the effects of voting for or against each proposal. This summary must be printed on the ballot and submitted to the Secretary of State at least four months before a regular election or sixty days before a special election. The bill also clarifies that these timing requirements do not apply to proposals placed on the ballot during special elections.
