LB 565 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide and change requirements relating to agency guidance documents

Nebraska's LB 565 updates rules for state agency guidance documents, requiring agencies to publish them online with clear notices stating they are advisory (not binding like formal rules). It mandates agencies to include fiscal impact estimates for businesses and residents, provide annual indexes of all guidance documents, and respond to public requests for revisions within 60 days. The bill revokes all guidance documents issued between July 2022 and July 2025 unless needed for federal compliance, and prohibits guidance from imposing stricter rules than federal standards. These changes apply to all state agencies and directly affect businesses, residents, and local governments subject to agency guidance. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
