LB 391 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Give to Enable Scholarship Act and provide for certain income tax adjustments

LB 391 creates the Give to Enable Support Program to help individuals with disabilities cover qualified disability expenses. It establishes a cash fund funded solely by private donations (not state funds) managed by the State Treasurer, starting January 1, 2026. Qualified individuals with disabilities can apply annually to receive accounts funded from this cash fund, which they can then use to pay for approved disability-related expenses. The program requires applicants to submit documentation proving disability status and personal details, with approvals based on available funding. The bill also includes minor tax adjustments related to interest and dividends but focuses primarily on the new disability support mechanism.
