Provide powers for cities of the metropolitan class to regulate housing authorities by ordinance

LB 514 would have amended Nebraska law to grant cities of the metropolitan class (like Omaha) direct authority to regulate their local housing authorities through city ordinances. This would allow these cities to establish rules for housing authority operations, finances, and services via their own local laws, rather than relying solely on state-level oversight. The bill was amended into another measure (LB287) on June 6, 2025, and did not become law.
