LB 1066 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require members of the Legislature to complete a civics assessment

This bill requires all Nebraska state legislators to complete a civics assessment within 90 days of taking office. The assessment consists of 20 randomly selected questions based on the U.S. Naturalization Test, with scores published publicly on the Legislature's website and each member's official biography. Completion is mandatory but passing is not required; scores do not affect a member's ability to hold office. Legislators who do not pass may be offered a voluntary civic literacy seminar, but results remain confidential for individual questions. The Clerk of the Legislature administers the test and certifies scores.
