LB 1126 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Infrastructure Development Investment Program Act and change and eliminate provisions relating to the Rural Road Improvement District Act, the Political Subdivisions Construction Alternatives Act, the Transportation Innovation Act, the Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act, the Nebraska Rules of the Road, intrastate medicaid nonemergency medical transportation services, and wireless service surcharges

LB 1126 creates Nebraska's Infrastructure Development Investment Program to provide loans and financial assistance for transportation infrastructure projects. It directly affects eligible entities like cities, counties, and private partners in public-private partnerships seeking funding for projects such as roads, bridges, transit systems, or bike facilities. The program, administered by the Department of Transportation with final authority held by the State Highway Commission, defines "eligible projects" as those enhancing mobility, safety, economic development, or quality of life. Key mechanisms include establishing a dedicated fund for financing, setting eligibility criteria for costs, and streamlining project approval processes under new financial assistance rules.
