LB 733 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change the name of the Division of Developmental Disabilities to the Division of Disability and Aging within the Department of Health and Human Services

Nebraska Legislative Bill LB 733 renames the "Division of Developmental Disabilities" to the "Division of Disability and Aging" within the Department of Health and Human Services. This administrative change updates the division's name in state statutes to better reflect its expanded scope, which includes services for both people with disabilities and older adults. The bill amends multiple sections of Nebraska law (including 43-4413 and 68-1530) to replace the old name with the new one and removes obsolete references. It does not alter service delivery, funding, or eligibility for programs - only the division's official title and related statutory language.
