Change provisions relating to application deadlines under the Nebraska Innovation Hub Act and the Nebraska Rural Projects Act
This bill amends two Nebraska economic development laws by changing the deadlines for applications. It sets December 31, 2025 as the final date for organizations to apply for Innovation Hub designation under the Nebraska Innovation Hub Act and for matching funds under the Nebraska Rural Projects Act. The bill does not change the requirements for these programs, only the date by which applications must be submitted. This change affects nonprofit organizations, inland port authorities, and other entities seeking to participate in these economic development programs.

MINOR
The bill text shows a formatting change where a blank line was added after the committee introduction section, and a line of text beginning with '(a) Identify the project, including the qualified location of such' was removed from the application requirements section. This appears to be a minor editing adjustment rather than a substantive policy change.
TECHNICAL
Removed a line item from the application requirements that specified the project must identify its qualified location.
Added a blank line after the committee introduction section for formatting purposes.
