Provide for powers and duties of county attorneys and deputy county attorneys in certain counties to be performed by district attorneys and deputy district attorneys appointed by the Attorney General
This bill proposes to allow the Attorney General to assign district attorneys and their staff to perform criminal and juvenile court duties in Nebraska counties with fewer than 100,000 residents. Effective January 1, 2026, these designated district attorneys would serve as the county attorneys for their assigned areas, and all personnel involved would be full-time employees of the Attorney General's office rather than local county employees. The legislation also updates legal definitions to clarify that the term "county attorney" includes any district attorney assigned under this new arrangement.
