Interim study to examine current practices under Nebraska law related to the designation of real property as blighted and substandard

This legislative resolution directs the Urban Affairs Committee to conduct an interim study on how Nebraska currently identifies and designates real property as blighted or substandard. The study will examine existing laws and procedures, review the role of neighborhood associations, and assess current public notice and participation mechanisms. A key focus is developing recommendations to require municipal authorities to notify and consult with neighborhood associations before finalizing any blight designation. The committee will report its findings and suggestions to the Legislative Council or Legislature once the study is complete.
