AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Nebraska WARN: Gov. Jim Pillen signed LB 921 creating a state “mini-WARN” law requiring 90 days’ notice for business closings or mass layoffs of 100+ full-time workers; it takes effect July 17, 2026 and differs from federal WARN in triggers and notice rules. Elections Administration: The Nebraska Board of State Canvassers will meet June 8 to certify 2026 primary results, with possible follow-up June 10/15 recount steps if needed. Public Safety Leadership: Pillen appointed Scott Gray, a 30-year Omaha Police veteran, to lead the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice as executive director starting Aug. 3. Health & Courts: UNMC’s Pancreatic Cancer Center director filed a federal complaint alleging discrimination and retaliation; separately, AG Jay Jones joined a coalition opposing the federal KIDS Act over online safety and age-verification concerns. Public Health Response: The U.S. may soon let exposed passengers from the MV Hondius hantavirus quarantine return home, but only with 24/7 monitoring for the remainder of quarantine. Marijuana Legal Fight: Nebraska joined other AGs suing to block Trump administration marijuana reclassification. Economy & Taxes: Economist Ernie Goss says Nebraska must cut local government spending to improve competitiveness and lower taxes.
