LB 1237A Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Appropriation Bill

This bill appropriates state funds to support the implementation of Legislative Bill 1237, which is a separate piece of legislation. It allocates $871,419 to the Nebraska State Patrol for fiscal year 2026-27 and $50,000 to the Department of Administrative Services for the same period, with specific limits on how those funds can be spent on salaries and per diems. The bill also updates budget figures for the Legislative Council's services and includes $75,000 from the Nebraska Health Care Cash Fund to support ongoing health-related research and policy development by the Health and Human Services Committee. Finally, it reappropriates any unspent money from previous budgets and repeals the original section that established these funding levels.
