LB 609 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Controllable Electronic Record Fraud Prevention Act, require notice of potential fraud for purchasers of gift certificates and gift cards, and change provisions relating to search warrants

LB 609 adopts the Controllable Electronic Record Fraud Prevention Act, requiring businesses operating kiosks for digital assets (like cryptocurrency) to obtain a license, report to Nebraska's Department of Banking and Finance, and provide clear fraud warnings to customers. The bill mandates that kiosk operators disclose specific scam examples (e.g., fake bank alerts or "job offer" scams) and state that transactions are irreversible. It also includes changes to search warrant procedures, though the primary focus is on preventing fraud in digital asset transactions. This directly affects kiosk operators and customers using these services in Nebraska.
