Adopt the Defense Efforts Workforce Act

LB 649 adopts a federal definition of "defense contractor" (from 50 U.S.C. §4552) into state law, directly affecting companies seeking state benefits or contracts related to defense work. The bill requires defense contractors to provide a detailed description of their business, including products, services, and markets, to verify their status. It also adds a requirement that positions must have been newly created in the state after July 1, 2025. The changes involve technical renumbering of sections and modifying language to align with the adopted federal definition. This is a procedural update to state law, not a new policy.
