LB 1224 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Prohibit children from transferring to an exempt school during certain child abuse or neglect investigations and prohibit persons convicted of certain crimes from monitoring or providing instruction at such schools

Nebraska's LB 1224 prohibits children from transferring to schools that opt out of state accreditation during active child abuse or neglect investigations. It bans individuals convicted of sexual assault (including offenses against children) from monitoring or teaching at such "exempt schools" that choose not to meet standard accreditation requirements. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services and the Commissioner of Education to provide notice and maintain confidentiality regarding these restrictions. These provisions apply directly to vulnerable children in investigations and to schools operating outside state accreditation standards.
