Change provisions relating to filing and appealing claims against the state

LB 1170 modifies Nebraska's process for counties to file and appeal claims against the state related to prosecution costs from correctional institution incidents (e.g., crimes committed by inmates). Counties can recover costs exceeding a county-specific tax-based threshold amount, file multiple claims per incident if thresholds are met, and appeal denied claims to the Legislature within 60 days. The bill clarifies that claims over $5,000 require State Claims Board approval, standardizes appeal procedures, and requires electronic reporting of claims to the Legislature. It applies to incidents occurring on or after May 1, 2015, with no time limit for filing claims.
