LR 14CA Nebraska · 108th Legislature First Special Session

Constitutional amendment to require political subdivisions to have voter approval at a general election before extending any expiring tax

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would require local governments to hold a voter approval vote at a November general election before extending any expiring tax. The measure directly affects cities, counties, and other political subdivisions in Nebraska by mandating that residents vote on tax extensions rather than allowing officials to renew them automatically. If passed, the change would ensure that any decision to continue a tax that is set to expire must be explicitly approved by the public during a scheduled general election. Currently, the bill has been indefinitely postponed and has not been enacted.
