LB 634 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Legislative Sunset Review Act and eliminate the Legislature's Planning Committee

LB 634 creates the Legislative Sunset Review Committee to periodically evaluate state agencies and commissions (called "reviewable entities") established by the Nebraska Legislature. It requires these entities to submit detailed performance reports every five years, including data on costs, effectiveness, public input, and potential duplication. The committee will review these reports and recommend to the Legislature whether to maintain, modify, or eliminate each entity. This bill directly affects all state boards, councils, commissions, and similar bodies created by the Legislature, replacing the previous Planning Committee with this new review process. The committee will begin its reviews in 2027, with initial appointments scheduled for 2026.
