LB 694 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Prohibit discrimination based on military or veteran status

Nebraska's LB 694 adds "military or veteran status" as a protected class under existing anti-discrimination laws. It amends multiple statutes to prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations - including places like restaurants and clubs - based on this status. The bill explicitly allows businesses to offer voluntary discounts or benefits to veterans (e.g., veterans-only services) but bans denying services or opportunities due to military/veteran status. It aligns with Nebraska's broader civil rights framework without creating new enforcement mechanisms.
