Legislative Council shifts money between programs
Nebraska’s Legislative Council gets $680,000 from the General Fund for Program 129 in each budget year, 2025–26 and 2026–27, to carry out LB298. Permanent and temporary salaries and daily allowances from these funds are capped at $590,500 and $615,700, respectively. The Office of Public Counsel’s annual General Fund budget falls from about $2.20 million to $1.52 million in both years. Its salary caps fall from $1,994,497 to $1,403,997 for 2025–26, and from $2,070,009 to $1,454,309 for 2026–27. The law takes effect upon passage and approval and carries forward the office’s unspent General Fund appropriation balance from June 30, 2025.
