Interim study to examine whether Nebraska should amend its laws relating to the determination of the age of majority

This legislative resolution directs the Nebraska Judiciary Committee to conduct an interim study on whether the state should change its laws regarding the age of majority. Currently, Nebraska sets the age of majority at 19, making it one of only three states with this standard instead of the more common age of 18. The study will examine how changing this age would affect areas like child custody, support, and foster care, while also reviewing what other states have done and experienced when making similar changes. The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature after completing the study.
