Change provisions relating to census data used for certain tax and economic development programs

Nebraska's LB 355 updates how census data is used to allocate state funding for economic development programs. It changes the required population data for distributing funds to development districts from other sources to the latest federal decennial census, with specific rules for unincorporated areas. The bill also revises rules for distributing funds from the Convention Center Support Fund to cities with high-poverty areas, requiring 10% of certain funds to support historical preservation, violence reduction, and small business growth in those communities. These changes affect development districts, local governments, and cities applying for economic development assistance under multiple state laws.
