Summary — LB 530A (Appropriation Bill)

Status: Approved by the Governor (June 4, 2025)
Introduced: May 12, 2025
Primary Sponsor: Senator Bosn

Purpose

LB 530A is an "A" (appropriation) bill that provides targeted funding to the Nebraska Supreme Court to implement the substantive provisions of Legislative Bill 530 (One Hundred Ninth Legislature, First Session, 2025). It does not itself change policy beyond the appropriation; rather, it supplies money designated to carry out LB 530.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $134,000 from the Supreme Court Automation Cash Fund for FY2025‑26 to the Supreme Court, Program 570, to aid in carrying out LB 530.
  • Appropriates $0 from the Supreme Court Automation Cash Fund for FY2026‑27.
  • Explicit prohibition: none of the funds appropriated by this section may be used for permanent or temporary salaries or per diems for state employees. (Funds must be used for non‑personnel purposes consistent with the fund’s intent.)

Funding source and fiscal impact

  • Source: Supreme Court Automation Cash Fund (a cash fund used by the Judicial Branch for automation/technology needs).
  • Amount: $134,000 in FY2025‑26; no appropriation in FY2026‑27.
  • General Fund: No General Fund appropriation — the bill draws solely from a judicial cash fund.
  • Practical implication: funding is intended for implementation costs of LB 530 (for example, technology, vendor contracts, or non‑salary program expenses), but LB 530A does not specify exact line‑item uses.

Who is affected

  • Primary recipient: Nebraska Supreme Court (Program 570).
  • Indirectly affected: parties and court operations impacted by the substantive changes made in LB 530 (see LB 530 for details of policy changes).

Procedural timeline

  • Introduced: May 12, 2025
  • Placed on General File and advanced through legislative steps in May 2025.
  • Passed Final Reading in the Legislature: 44–4–1 (May 29, 2025).
  • President/Speaker signed: May 29, 2025.
  • Presented to Governor: May 29, 2025.
  • Approved by Governor / Enacted: June 4, 2025.
