LB 864 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Transfer administration of student internships from the Department of Economic Development to the Department of Labor

This bill (LB 864) transfers administrative responsibility for Nebraska's student internship programs from the Department of Economic Development to the Department of Labor. It directly affects Nebraska students seeking internships and businesses offering paid internships, as the Department of Labor will now manage program operations. The key mechanism is amending statutes to update which agency oversees internship administration, including revisions to definitions and program requirements in sections 81-1210.01-03. The bill does not change the program's purpose - supporting student work experience and workforce development - but shifts operational management to the Department of Labor.
