Revisor's bill to eliminate obsolete provisions and provisions that have terminated
LB 716 is a procedural bill that removes outdated or expired legal provisions from Nebraska's statutes. It specifically repeals the Next Generation Business Growth Act (which expired January 1, 2017), obsolete sections about the Rural Health Opportunities Loan Pool Fund, and provisions related to the Nebraska Army National Guard complex (expired July 1, 2015). The bill also eliminates redundant or terminated appropriation sections and repeals 12 specific statute numbers (including 50-301 through 50-306 and 90-267-90-270). This cleanup effort harmonizes existing laws by removing references to provisions that no longer have legal effect. The bill does not create new policies or affect any current programs or constituents.
