LB 29 Nebraska · 108th Legislature First Special Session

Provide for the sale of certain state-owned aircraft and prohibit the acquisition or maintenance of certain aircraft

This bill directs the Nebraska Department of Aeronautics to sell any aircraft currently owned by the state that is designated for the Governor or the Governor's staff, with the proceeds from the sale going to the state's General Fund. It also prohibits the state from purchasing, leasing, or maintaining any new aircraft for the Governor or their staff, except in cases involving immediate responses to natural disasters or military emergencies. Additionally, the bill requires the department to file quarterly reports detailing all state aircraft travel, including passenger names, destinations, and trip purposes, while establishing an hourly fee for state officials to use government planes. The legislation aims to reduce property tax burdens by eliminating the state's ownership of executive aircraft and increasing transparency regarding government air travel.
