LB 321 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to the board of trustees for sanitary and improvement districts

LB 321 would have changed how boards of trustees are elected for Nebraska's local drainage districts. It proposed shifting voting rules: at elections held four years after the first election, two trustees would be chosen by residents owning property in the district, and three by all property owners; this would flip to three resident-elected and two all-property owners at eight-year elections. The bill also required candidates representing corporations or partnerships to list their entity's name on ballots and provide documentation proving their role. These changes would directly affect property owners and entity representatives within drainage districts, altering how trustees are selected based on ownership type and residency. (Note: The bill was amended into LB287 on June 6, 2025.)
