Nebraska shifts funding for gambling help

The law takes effect immediately and shifts funding for Nebraska’s gambling-help programs. The State Racing and Gaming Commission gets $3.217273 million from the Compulsive Gamblers Assistance Fund for 2026–27 to carry out LB1001. Of that money, permanent and temporary staff pay and daily allowances cannot exceed $154,334. This new funding and pay limit are both $0 for 2025–26. The Revenue Department’s Gamblers Assistance Program keeps $3.208877 million for 2025–26, with a $149,532 salary limit; both become $0 for 2026–27. The law also removes the department’s separate $1.15 million cash-fund state-aid allocation in each year. It does not set a direct household payment.
