LB 511 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Create the offense of commercial sexual exploitation, require registration under the Sex Offender Registration Act for certain solicitation and trafficking offenses, provide for a grant program for law enforcement, and require the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct education and awareness campaigns

LB 511 redefines "solicitation of prostitution" as "commercial sexual exploitation" and adds new penalties for this offense. It requires individuals convicted of this crime, human trafficking, and related offenses to register under Nebraska's Sex Offender Registration Act. The bill creates a grant program to fund law enforcement efforts targeting these crimes and mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to run public education campaigns about healthy families, pornography, and prostitution. This directly affects convicted individuals, law enforcement agencies, and the public through new registration requirements and awareness initiatives.
