Appropriate funds for salaries of constitutional officers

Nebraska Legislative Bill LB 263 appropriates funds for the salaries and benefits of constitutional state officers for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. It directly affects Supreme Court judges, Court of Appeals judges, district/juvenile and county court judges, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and Auditor of Public Accounts. The bill specifies exact funding amounts for each position while establishing "salary limits" that restrict total expenditures for salaries and per diems. It includes provisions for reappropriating unspent funds and transferring budgets among judicial programs to support court operations. This is a standard funding measure, not a policy change, ensuring constitutional officers receive authorized compensation for the specified fiscal periods.
