LB 49 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide for a model ban and bar policy for school districts

LB 49 requires Nebraska's State Board of Education to create a model policy for school districts governing "ban and bar actions" - prohibitions on students, parents, or others from school property or activities. The model policy mandates that such actions can only be used for immediate safety threats or court enforcement, must be limited to one year (unless court-ordered), and must include written notice with appeal options. School districts must adopt this model policy (or a similar one) by July 1, 2026, ensuring bans cannot discriminate and include clear appeal processes for affected individuals. The bill directly affects all Nebraska public school districts and their policies regarding school access restrictions.
