LB 270 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide for a review by the Auditor of Public Accounts for suspected sales and use tax reporting irregularities and discrepancies

LB 270 would have allowed Nebraska's Auditor of Public Accounts to conduct audits of businesses suspected of reporting errors in sales and use tax filings, expanding oversight beyond the current Tax Commissioner authority. It directly affects businesses collecting sales tax and local municipalities, which could now share confidential tax information under new exceptions to standard confidentiality rules. The key provision created a specific exception permitting municipalities to disclose tax data when necessary for audits related to local tax collection. However, this bill was amended into LB 650 on June 6, 2025, and is no longer active as a standalone measure.
