LR 18CA: Constitutional amendment to require the Legislature to reimburse political subdivisions

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Nebraska's state government to fully reimburse local governments (such as cities and counties) for costs associated with new state-mandated programs or increased service levels implemented after 2026. The amendment would add a specific provision to the state constitution stating that the Legislature cannot impose such financial obligations on political subdivisions without providing a dedicated state appropriation or revenue increase to cover the full cost. It directly affects local governments by ensuring they won't bear unexpected expenses from state-mandated initiatives after 2026. The amendment must be approved by voters in the 2026 general election to take effect.
