New Nebraska-Ireland trade commission and fund

The law creates the Nebraska-Ireland Commission in the Department of Economic Development. It promotes trade, investment, and academic exchanges between Nebraska and Ireland. Members include the Agriculture and Economic Development directors (or designees), a college rep, two business association reps, a nonprofit rep, a public member, and three nonvoting state senators. Members serve two-year terms, elect a chair and vice-chair, and meet at least quarterly, including by video. A Nebraska-Ireland Fund supports the work, with money from legislative transfers, gifts, grants, federal funds, or fundraising, and investment earnings stay in the fund.

Commission members unpaid and yearly reports

Commission members serve without pay. If funds are available, they can be reimbursed for official expenses under state rules. The Commission must send an initial report by December 1, 2027. It must then file a report each year by December 31, and submit the legislative report electronically.
