AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Nebraska Legislature, final votes: Lawmakers advanced a major package of bills, including LB966 (Hunger-Free Schools Act) backed by Sen. Tony Sorrentino, LB596 (legal notices/publication rules) approved by Sen. Carolyn Bosn, and LB455 (workers’ compensation injury reporting/confidentiality) approved by Sen. Ben Hansen over opposition from Sen. Dunixi Guereca and others. Election & local governance: LB1075 cleared with emergency language, reshaping election procedures and village governance under Sen. R. Brad von Gillern, while LB1048 under Sen. Jason Prokop streamlined agency reporting and eliminated the Suggestion Award Board/employee suggestion system. Health & Medicaid: LB958 under Sen. Stan Clouse set new rules for Medicaid waiver approval and service eligibility, including legislative sign-off for certain waiver changes. Public safety/health care access: LB955 expanded pharmacist practice agreements with physician assistants (Sen. Eliot Bostar). Energy & infrastructure: LB1261 limiting eminent domain for certain private electric plants failed to win enough support, with Sen. Jason Prokop voting no. Legal/policy fights beyond the Unicameral: A lawsuit challenges Nebraska’s school choice as a First Amendment issue, and a separate national report flags weakening health data protections as the federal government seeks broader access to medical records. Local politics: Lincoln petition fraud fallout continues as city and county officials clash over the investigation and petition leadership.
