Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Emergency cash fund for disasters

The Governor’s Emergency Cash Fund holds federal reimbursements for eligible state administrative costs and other nonfederal government revenue. The fund pays eligible costs tied to state emergency disaster declarations and is run by the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. Starting October 1, 2024, investment earnings from this fund go to the General Fund. The Legislature may direct transfers from this fund to the Cash Reserve Fund or the General Fund.

Funding for rural health worker incentives

The law sends payments under sections 71-5666, 71-5668, and 71-5669.01 to the State Treasurer. The money is credited to the Rural Health Professional Incentive Fund. The fund supports student loans and loan repayment for eligible rural health professionals under the act. The fund’s money is invested under state law, and the Legislature can order transfers to the General Fund.

Repeals of obsolete state laws

The law repeals obsolete sections 50-301 to 50-306, 71-5670.01, 90-267 to 90-270, 90-563, and 90-562. These sections are removed from state law; no new dates or transition rules are listed.

Upkeep fund for vacant state buildings

Money credited under section 72-815 goes into the Vacant Building and Excess Land Cash Fund. The State Building Division uses it to pay upkeep on vacant state buildings and to cover sale or disposal costs for buildings and excess land. The Legislature can move money from this fund to the General Fund. Money may not come from the Task Force for Building Renewal unless the building qualifies under the Deferred Building Renewal Act.
