Summary: Legislative Resolution LR48 (2025) – Extend sympathy to Kyle McAcy’s family, friends, and fellow officers

LR48 is a ceremonial bipartisan legislative resolution introduced in the Nebraska Legislature during the 109th Legislature, First Session, on February 21, 2025. Its primary purpose is to publicly recognize the life and service of Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) officer Kyle McAcy and to extend condolences to those affected by his passing. The resolution also notes NSP’s intention to retire badge number 302 in his honor.

Purpose and Intent

  • Express formal condolences from the Legislature to the family, friends, and fellow NSP officers of Kyle McAcy.
  • Acknowledge McAcy’s service and community involvement.
  • Document NSP’s plan to retire badge number 302 in his memory, ensuring he is forever associated with that badge.

Key Provisions

  • Section 1: The Legislature offers its condolences to Kyle McAcy’s family, friends, and fellow officers.
  • Section 2: A copy of the resolution will be sent to Kyle McAcy’s family.
  • Provisions regarding the retirement of NSP badge number 302 as a memorial gesture reflecting McAcy’s service and dedication.

Procedural History and Status

  • Introduced: February 21, 2025 (Laid over the same day).
  • Sponsorship: Primary sponsor Kauth; cosponsor McKinney (name added February 24, 2025).
  • Status: Withdrawn. On February 25, 2025, LR48 was filed as withdrawn (Kauth MO44 Withdraw LR48 filed). This means the resolution did not advance in this legislative session.

Impact and Who Is Affected

  • Acknowledges and honors Kyle McAcy’s service and community contributions.
  • Impacts McAcy’s family, colleagues in the NSP, and the broader community by publicly memorializing his sacrifice.
  • No legal or fiscal changes; ceremonial recognition without enforceable obligations.

Additional Notes

  • LR48 is a resolution, not a statute; it expresses sentiment and remembrance rather than imposing requirements or creating new laws.
  • The withdrawal status indicates the measure did not progress to adoption in this session, though the memorial content remains part of the introduced text.
