LB 167 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change the sunset date for the Nebraska Litter Reduction and Recycling Act

Nebraska Legislative Bill 167 extends the termination date of the Nebraska Litter Reduction and Recycling Act from September 30, 2025, to September 30, 2030. This change directly affects the state's litter reduction program and the requirements established under the Act, allowing it to continue operating for five additional years. The bill amends the existing law to require the department to complete a review of the program's effectiveness at least six months before the new termination date, ensuring continued evaluation of its impact. This procedural adjustment maintains the Act's framework without altering its core requirements or creating new obligations.
