LB 466 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Redefine a term under the Nebraska Juvenile Code

LB 466 redefines specific terms in Nebraska's juvenile justice law to clarify existing procedures. It specifically revises the definition of "alternative to detention" to exclude physical restraints (like locked facilities), clarifying that electronic monitoring or community programs count, but hardware-based restrictions do not. The bill also adds detailed definitions for "staff secure juvenile facility" to distinguish it from secure detention. This purely definitional bill affects juvenile courts, detention facilities, and legal professionals who apply these terms in cases involving youth. It does not create new programs or change penalties.
