LB 191 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to unlawful interference with telecommunications under the One-Call Notification System Act

This bill expands protections under Nebraska's One-Call Notification System Act by broadening the definition of unlawful interference to include disruptions to telecommunications, broadband, communications, and power transmission infrastructure. It directly affects individuals who intentionally damage or interfere with utility poles, cables, or transmission systems. The key change replaces the original language to explicitly cover these infrastructure types, making it a violation to disrupt such services. Penalties for violations will now follow the existing provisions in section 28-519 of Nebraska law. The bill does not create new penalties but updates the scope of existing protections.
