LB 1171 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide for certain claims relating to sewer systems under the Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act

This bill amends Nebraska's Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act to clarify how property owners can seek compensation for damage caused by sewer system backups. It directly affects homeowners and businesses whose properties suffer damage due to negligent acts or omissions by a political subdivision (like a city) or its contractor operating the sewer system. The key provision requires the political subdivision's governing body to pay valid claims within 90 days if the damage amount is known and undisputed. This streamlines the claims process for affected property owners while allowing the political subdivision to seek reimbursement from negligent contractors.
