LB 1236 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to publication, printing, and distribution of legislative journals, session laws, and statutes and publication of the Constitution of Nebraska

LB 1236 updates Nebraska's rules for publishing, printing, and distributing legislative journals, session laws, and statutes. It allows for electronic or print formats (replacing outdated requirements), sets county-specific copy limits based on population class (e.g., Class 1 counties get up to 3 sets), and clarifies distribution to state agencies, courts, libraries, and universities. The bill harmonizes existing statutes by removing outdated provisions and ensures copies reach all required recipients, including county officials, state departments, and the University of Nebraska College of Law. This streamlines access to legislative records while modernizing distribution methods.
