Allow for the use of durable accessible mediums for public records
Nebraska's LB 919 allows government offices to use durable, accessible record-keeping methods like microfilm or digital formats instead of physical documents for public records. It amends statutes to require that when using these methods, original documents need not be retained after verification of accuracy and quality, with security copies maintained per state standards. This applies to county registers of deeds (for bankruptcy filings and tax liens) and the Secretary of State's office (for tax lien notices). The bill directly affects how local and state agencies store and maintain public records, streamlining record-keeping while ensuring accessibility.
