LB 325 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to qualifications and requirements for the board of directors of an insurance corporation

LB 325 modifies Nebraska law to allow certain large insurance corporations to exempt one board member from the requirement of being a Nebraska resident. This applies only to insurers meeting five specific criteria: having principal offices in Nebraska, being publicly traded or a wholly owned affiliate of a publicly traded company, being domiciled in Nebraska for 25+ years, employing over 500 Nebraska-based employees subject to state income tax, and having stable ownership for 10 years. If an insurer meets these criteria, it can file an affidavit to waive the residency rule for five years, with the option to renew. If it later fails to meet the criteria, it must notify the Department of Insurance and appoint a Nebraska-resident board member within six months. The bill directly affects large, long-established insurance corporations operating in Nebraska.
