Eliminate the sales and use tax exemption for zoo and aquarium admissions
LB 1023 eliminates the sales and use tax exemption for admissions to nationally accredited zoos and aquariums operated by public agencies or nonprofit organizations primarily for educational, scientific, or tourism purposes. This change means these facilities will begin charging sales tax on admissions starting October 1, 2026. The bill directly affects zoos and aquariums currently exempt from this tax under Nebraska law. It modifies Section 77-2704.67 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes to remove the exemption provision, effective October 1, 2026.
