LR 294 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide notice of intent to file articles of impeachment against University of Nebraska Regent Elizabeth O'Connor

This legislative resolution (LR 294) formally notifies University of Nebraska Regent Elizabeth O'Connor that the Nebraska Legislature intends to file impeachment charges against her if she does not resign her position. The resolution demands her immediate resignation following her DUI charge related to a 2025 crash causing serious injury, citing Nebraska's constitutional provisions for impeaching civil officers. If she refuses to resign, the Legislature will proceed with formal impeachment proceedings through its Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. The resolution serves as a procedural step to initiate this process, not an immediate action.
