Provide powers to cities of the metropolitan class to regulate housing authorities and change provisions of the Nebraska Housing Agency Act

Nebraska bill LB 981 gives cities of "metropolitan class" (like Omaha and Lincoln) new authority to regulate local housing authorities through city ordinances. It changes complaint processes for housing agencies, requires housing authorities to report on bed bug issues, and aligns existing rules under the Nebraska Housing Agency Act. The bill directly affects metropolitan cities, their housing authorities, and residents living in housing units managed by these agencies. It updates the legal framework without creating new housing programs or funding.
