Change provisions relating to the achieving a better life experience program
This bill protects funds in Nebraska's ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts from being seized by creditors. It amends state law to explicitly exempt ABLE account balances from levies, judgments, garnishments, and other legal enforcement actions. The change directly benefits Nebraskans with disabilities who use ABLE accounts to pay for qualified disability-related expenses. The policy ensures these funds remain secure and available for their intended purpose, without risk of being used to settle unrelated debts.
