Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Old veterans home lease and utility rules repealed

The law repeals Nebraska statutes 80-328 and 80-330. It removes state rules about a lease agreement for a veterans home and about utility services. Those repealed rules no longer apply to veterans homes. If you live in a state veterans home or help someone who does, check with the home or the Nebraska Department of Veterans’ Affairs for current lease and utility terms.

New rules for Military and Veterans Commission

The law updates who serves on the Commission on Military and Veteran Affairs. Voting members are the Economic Development Director, the Adjutant General, the Veterans’ Affairs Director, and three residents appointed by the Governor, one from each district. At least one appointee has military experience and at least one has a business background. Several state and military leaders join as nonvoting members, including Nebraska base commanders, the veterans program coordinator at Labor, the ESGR chair, USSTRATCOM, and DPAA. Initial terms are two, three, and four years. Later terms are four years and begin October 1, and vacancies are filled for the rest of a term. The Commission no longer files a yearly report; it sends a report when the Governor asks or it chooses to, and sends it to the Legislature, the Governor, and each base commander.
