Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Police must check for military orders

When police arrest someone in the U.S. armed forces, they must check the FBI NCIC for a registered military protective order. If there is probable cause the order was broken, the officer must notify the authority that issued it. This improves enforcement of military protective orders.

Stronger evidence for protection orders

In a protection order hearing, your petition and affidavit count as evidence. The court must admit them unless it decides to exclude them. A military protective order also counts as evidence of past conduct and the need for protection. The law defines a “military protective order” using the federal rule in place on January 1, 2026.

Which crimes count as sexual assault

The law spells out what counts as a “sexual assault offense” for protection orders. It includes sexual assault, sexual abuse by a school worker, and sexual assault of a child. It also covers attempts and any sexual contact or penetration without consent under Nebraska law.
