LB 660 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the State Building Construction Alternatives Act and the Secure Drone Purchasing Act, require agencies to submit a federal funding inventory, and change provisions relating to agency rules and regulations, state buildings, and works of art for state buildings

LB 660 adopts two new acts: the State Building Construction Alternatives Act, which creates new contracting methods (like design-build and construction manager contracts) for state building projects, and the Secure Drone Purchasing Act. It requires state agencies (such as Corrections, Transportation, and the State Building Division) to seek approval from the Director of Administrative Services before using these methods, especially for projects over $30 million, and mandates justification based on cost, schedule, or complexity. The bill also updates rules for agency procurement, building regulations, and acquisition of art for state buildings, while excluding universities and specific existing laws like the Public Water Project Contracting Act. It does not include detailed provisions for the Secure Drone Purchasing Act in the provided text.
