LB 1136 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require political subdivisions to identify authorized recipients of tort claims filed under the Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act

LB 1136 requires cities, counties, and other local governments in Nebraska to publicly list on their websites who can legally accept tort claims (like injury or property damage lawsuits against them). This includes the name, title, and mailing address of the designated official or law department. Filing a claim with this listed recipient satisfies legal filing requirements, and if a government fails to maintain accurate website information, the deadlines for filing claims and lawsuits are extended. The bill directly affects residents filing claims against local governments and ensures clearer, more accessible claim submission processes.
