LB 906 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing facial coverings or disguises and require officers to wear appropriate identification

This bill requires Nebraska law enforcement officers on duty to wear clear identification displaying their name, badge number, and agency name, and prohibits them from wearing facial coverings or disguises that obscure their identity. It directly affects all state, local, tribal, and federal officers working in Nebraska during routine operations. Exceptions include covert operations, health protection (like masks for airborne diseases), and safety gear for smoke or toxins. The law aims to improve public trust and officer accountability by ensuring visible identification during interactions.
