Interim study to examine the feasibility and benefits of establishing a ways and means committee to enhance coordination and collaboration between the Revenue Committee and the Appropriations Committee of the Legislature

This resolution proposes an interim study to examine whether creating a "ways and means committee" would improve coordination between Nebraska's Revenue Committee and Appropriations Committee. The study will analyze current committee roles, timing of revenue forecasting versus budgeting, and best practices from other states. It aims to determine if a new committee could enhance budget process efficiency and alignment with public finance standards. The study concludes by December 15, 2025, with recommendations to the Legislature - this resolution does not create a new committee.
