LB 604 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions regarding initiative and referendum petitions

LB 604 changes Nebraska's process for handling initiative and referendum petitions. Sponsors must now submit the full measure text and sponsor details to the Secretary of State before collecting signatures, with a state reviewer checking the text for clarity within 10 days. The Secretary must post the measure online during circulation, and legal challenges to petitions must be filed within 60 days of that posting. Courts must handle these cases quickly, with appeals going directly to the Court of Appeals.
