LB 372 repeals three specific Nebraska laws: Sections 2-3813 and 2-3814 (regarding grain inspections) and Section 81-2,181 (covering honey labeling requirements). It also eliminates the Nebraska Origin and Premium Quality Grain Cash Fund program. This bill directly affects Nebraska grain producers, processors, and honey sellers by removing mandatory inspection rules, ending the cash fund for premium grain, and abolishing honey labeling standards. The legislation makes no new policy changes but formally removes these existing requirements from state law.
This bill, LB 195, grants legal immunity to individuals who administer opioid overdose reversal medications (like naloxone or nalmefene) in good faith during an overdose emergency. It directly protects health professionals (doctors, nurses, pharmacists), family members, friends, school staff, emergency responders, and police officers who obtain and use these medications appropriately. Key provisions shield them from criminal prosecution, administrative action, or civil liability when acting reasonably to assist someone experiencing or likely to experience an opioid overdose. The law specifically covers medications approved by the FDA for reversing overdoses, whether obtained via prescription, from a health professional, or over the counter.
LB 501 adjusts property tax assessments for real property damaged by disasters like fires, floods, or tornadoes. It directly affects property owners whose homes or land suffer significant damage (exceeding 20% of assessed value) after January 1, 2019, excluding damage caused by the owner. The bill requires owners to report damage to county assessors by July 15, triggers a county review by July 20, and mandates that the county board of equalization adjust the property’s assessed value to what it was *before* the disaster occurred. This ensures affected properties are taxed based on their pre-damage value for the current year only, without requiring new property appraisals.
LB 478 creates new licensing options under Nebraska's Liquor Control Act. It establishes an auction permit allowing auction houses to sell alcoholic liquor at auction - specifically for items previously sold to defunct retailers or private collections. The bill also introduces a "wholesalers shipping license," enabling out-of-state wholesalers to ship directly to Nebraska licensed wholesalers, along with separate licenses for manufacturers and retailers shipping directly to consumers. Fees for these licenses fund state funds (General Fund or promotional accounts), and the law updates reporting requirements and definitions, such as defining "vintage wine" as 10+ years old. This directly affects auction houses, wholesalers, manufacturers, and retailers seeking new sales or shipping pathways.
LB 529 redefines "state agency" under Nebraska's State Procurement Act to exclude specific entities, including the University of Nebraska, Nebraska state colleges, the Nebraska Investment Council, courts, the Legislature, and constitutionally established agencies. This change means these excluded entities will no longer be subject to the state procurement rules that apply to other state agencies when purchasing goods or services. The bill amends Section 73-803 of Nebraska's statutes, with the new definition applying to actions taken on or after July 19, 2024. This is a procedural clarification affecting procurement processes, not a new policy.

The resolution has no legal effect - its only action is sending a copy of the resolution to the company. It does not change any laws or policies or affect any specific group beyond the symbolic recognition.

The resolution has no legal effect - it simply expresses legislative praise and directs a copy to be sent to the team.
LB 105 modifies voting procedures for Nebraska public power districts by eliminating the need for Secretary of State approval when dividing voting precincts to establish district boundaries. It allows districts to use whole or divided precincts (instead of population-based divisions) for defining operating areas and elections, particularly benefiting rural customers. The bill also updates rules for retail customers living outside a district's official boundaries but receiving power from it, enabling them to request voting rights on the district board if they meet specific notice and residency requirements. These changes apply directly to public power districts and their customers, streamlining boundary adjustments and voting access without altering eligibility criteria.
This is a ceremonial resolution (LR 92) honoring former Nebraska State Senator and Lincoln Mayor Don Wesely.

The resolution is non-binding and solely serves to memorialize his contributions, including projects like Haymarket Park and the Antelope Valley Project. It was adopted by the Legislature on April 3, 2025.
