LB 852 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide for the recapture of funding distributed from the Convention Center Support Fund to certain recipients

LB 852 requires that a portion of Nebraska's Convention Center Support Fund - used for convention center assistance to metropolitan cities - must be allocated to high-poverty areas (defined as census tracts with over 30% below the poverty line). Specifically, 10% of funds for certain cities and 100% of funds for others must be directed to these areas for historical preservation, reducing street and gang violence, and supporting small businesses. Affected areas must form a community committee with public hearings and resident appointments to manage the spending. This bill directly affects metropolitan cities receiving convention center funds and the high-poverty neighborhoods that receive the allocated resources.
