Change provisions relating to the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act

LB 385 amends Nebraska's Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act to modernize protections against false business claims. It directly affects businesses selling goods or services in Nebraska by adding specific prohibitions, including: requiring clear notice for file-sharing programs (§ 87-302(19)), banning misleading substance representations (§ 87-302(22)), restricting harmful material involving minors (§ 87-302(23)), and mandating accurate privacy policies (§ 87-302(15)). These provisions clarify when business practices constitute deception under state law. The bill was signed into law on May 21, 2025.
