LB 542 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change and eliminate payment provisions for road construction costs relating to utility facilities

This bill amends Nebraska law to change how costs are paid when utility lines (like gas, water, or broadband) must be moved during road construction. It eliminates the state's obligation to cover relocation costs for utility facilities on highways that were once part of the interstate system but were later removed, ending state payments for such moves after July 1, 1993. The bill also removes outdated provisions about these payments and clarifies that state funding won't cover relocation costs for these specific highway cases. This directly affects utility companies and state transportation projects involving older highway corridors.
