LB 901 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking Service Providers Tax Credit Act, change provisions related to the confidentiality of shared information, the distribution of certain tax revenue, contracts between the Tax Commissioner and collection agencies, the collection and enforcement of delinquent income tax claims, the ImagiNE Nebraska Act, the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, the Mechanical Amusement Device Tax Act, and the Nebraska Advantage Research and Development Act, provide for fees, provide an excise tax on kratom, eliminate certain personal property and sales and use tax exemptions and a tax credit, and terminate the Department of Revenue Miscellaneous Receipts Fund

This bill changes Nebraska's sales tax rate schedule and adjusts how tax revenue is distributed to state funds. It sets the sales tax rate at 5.5% from October 2025 through July 2027, with a reduced rate of 2.75% in certain "good life districts" during that period. The bill also modifies fund distributions, continuing to direct vehicle-related sales tax revenue (for motorboats, ATVs, etc.) to the Game and Parks Commission Capital Maintenance Fund, while adding a requirement to transfer a portion of these funds to the Emergency Medical System Operations Fund starting July 2024. Additionally, it adjusts how highway-related tax revenue is split between the Highway Trust Fund and Highway Allocation Fund.

What changed between versions

Enrollment and Review ER133 Final Reading · 6 edits
MODERATE
The bill was transitioned from a draft version containing deleted sections to a final reading version that establishes a new tax credit program. The final version removes references to domestic violence and human trafficking services, replacing them with a broad list of tax amendments covering energy credits, mechanical amusement devices, and various revenue code sections. This indicates a complete shift in the bill's purpose from a specific social service funding measure to a general tax code revision.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from a targeted program for domestic violence and human trafficking service providers to a comprehensive tax code amendment affecting multiple revenue articles and specific tax credits.
SCOPE

Removed the title and primary purpose of the bill, which was to create a 'Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking Service Providers Tax Credit Act'.
