Change contributions provisions under the Cities of the First Class Firefighters Retirement Act

Maddy summaryThis bill adjusts retirement contribution rates for firefighters in Nebraska cities of the first class (over 60,000 residents). It increases firefighter contributions from 6.5% to 12.7% of salary over time (2024-2026), but exempts those working in cities over 60,000 residents within counties over 100,000 population (like Omaha) from the higher rates starting March 2025 - they pay only 6.5%. Cities must cover these contributions directly instead of deducting from firefighters' paychecks, and the bill repeals previous contribution rules. These changes apply specifically to firefighters in eligible cities participating in the retirement system.

Change provisions of the Geologists Regulation Act

Maddy summaryLB 38 amends Nebraska's Geologists Regulation Act to clarify definitions and update provisions related to geology licensure and practice. It redefines key terms like "geologist," "geologist-intern," "practice of geology," and "direct supervision" to make the law clearer and more consistent. The bill directly affects licensed geologists, geology firms, and the Board of Geologists by specifying who must be licensed, what work constitutes "practice," and how supervision requirements apply. It also removes outdated sections (81-3505 and 81-3513) and ensures the regulatory framework aligns with current professional standards.
