LB 708 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change boundaries of certain community college areas

LB 708 proposed to redraw the county boundaries for Nebraska's six community college districts. It would have moved Cherry County from the Mid-Plains College Area to the Western College Area and redefined how Boone County is divided between the Northeast and Central College Areas. The bill would have directly affected students and institutions in the specific counties listed in the revised boundaries, altering which community college district they would fall under. This was a purely administrative boundary adjustment, not a new policy or funding measure. The bill was withdrawn before becoming law.
