LB 508 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to the deployment of the Nebraska National Guard and require the Governor to review current deployments

LB 508 requires that the Nebraska National Guard can only be deployed for active combat in U.S. military service if the U.S. Congress has declared war or authorized such deployment under the Constitution. The Governor must review all current federal orders deploying the Guard to verify compliance with this rule and immediately return Guard members to Nebraska if an order is found non-compliant. The Governor must then submit a report to the Legislature within 30 days summarizing the review and any actions taken. This law directly affects the Nebraska National Guard's deployment decisions and the Governor's oversight of federal military orders.
