LB 1168 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Authorize the issuance of conduit revenue bonds under the Community Development Law

LB 1168 amends Nebraska's Community Development Law to explicitly authorize cities and redevelopment authorities to issue "conduit revenue bonds" under specific taxpayer agreements. These bonds allow private entities (like developers) to fund redevelopment projects while cities use tax increment financing, with private parties repaying bond costs through agreed-upon payments. The bill primarily affects cities pursuing redevelopment in designated "extremely blighted areas" under Sections 18-2101.02 and 18-2147, streamlining how they structure financing for projects like housing or commercial development. Key changes include updating bond issuance rules in Section 18-2124 to include conduit bonds and harmonizing related reporting requirements in Sections 18-2101.02 and 18-2117.01.
