LB 1125 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require legislative approval of certain University of Nebraska contracts and restrict ownership of certain facilities

LB 1125 requires Nebraska's legislature to approve University of Nebraska contracts for acquiring major hospital facilities valued over $100 million. It also prohibits for-profit companies or out-of-state entities from owning primary University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) health facilities unless the Attorney General approves after consulting the University's Board of Regents. The bill directly affects the University of Nebraska Board of Regents (who negotiate contracts) and potential owners of UNMC facilities. Key provisions mandate legislative review for large contracts and establish strict ownership rules for medical facilities tied to UNMC. This changes how the University enters agreements for significant healthcare infrastructure.
