Interim study to examine to what extent inmates between five and twenty-one years of age, under the care of the Department of Correctional Services, are being provided educational services

This legislative resolution (LR 164) proposes an investigation into educational services for incarcerated youth in Nebraska. It directs the Education Committee to study how many children aged 5-21 under the Department of Correctional Services receive educational programs, including high school equivalency (GED) courses and partnerships with institutions like Southeast Community College. The study will assess current service levels and identify potential legal or regulatory changes needed to improve access. As a procedural resolution, it does not enact new policy but aims to inform future legislative action based on findings. The committee must report results to the Legislature or Legislative Council upon completion.
