LB 356 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Eliminate legislative confirmation of the appointment of members of the Nebraska Arts Council

LB 356 would change Nebraska's process for appointing members to the Nebraska Arts Council. Currently, the Governor must appoint members "with the approval of the Legislature," but this bill removes that requirement. The law would now allow the Governor to appoint council members directly, without needing legislative confirmation. This change directly affects how the Governor selects the 15-member Arts Council, which advises on arts funding and programming across Nebraska.
