LB 883 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to the Civic and Community Center Financing Act and the Revitalize Rural Nebraska Grant Program

Nebraska's LB 883 amends the Civic and Community Center Financing Act and Revitalize Rural Nebraska Grant Program to adjust grant eligibility and funding limits. The bill sets population-based maximum grant amounts: up to $2.25 million for larger cities or tribal governments, $1.125 million for cities of 40,000-100,000 residents, $750,000 for 20,000-40,000, and $600,000 for 10,000-20,000 residents. It clarifies definitions for terms like "civic center," "historic building," and "recreation center" to ensure consistent application. These changes directly affect cities, tribal governments, and other political subdivisions seeking funding for community facilities, historic preservation, or public space improvements under existing programs. The bill modifies sections 13-2703, 13-2704.01, and 13-2705 of Nebraska law without creating new programs.
