LB 1220 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to hunting, fur-harvesting and fishing

Nebraska's LB 1220 amends rules governing how the Game and Parks Commission creates hunting, fur-harvesting, and fishing regulations. It requires the commission to hold at least one public hearing (with 30 days' notice) for all proposed rules or changes, and mandates that rules become effective 15 days after being posted online. The bill also adds a limited emergency provision allowing immediate season closures/reopenings (with a 24-hour delay) only for urgent threats to wildlife populations or public safety. This affects hunters, anglers, fur harvesters, and the commission itself by changing the process for developing and implementing these regulations.
