Summary — LB 2 (2025)

Status: Approved by the Governor (Feb 25, 2025)
Introduced: Jan 9, 2025 by the Executive Board (Hansen, Ch.)
Final vote: Passed on Final Reading 48–0–1

Purpose

LB 2 is a statutory housekeeping bill that removes obsolete, already-terminated statutory provisions from Nebraska law. The bill repeals a set of named statutes and sections that established short‑term advisory groups, pilot programs, funds, and task forces that have already expired or been completed. The intent is to clean up the codified statutes so the Revised Statutes of Nebraska no longer include expired provisions.

Key provisions

  • Outright repeals specified sections of Nebraska law that had terminated, including statutes that established:
    • the Children and Juveniles Data Feasibility Study Advisory Group,
    • the Crimes Against Children Fund,
    • the Industrial Recovery Fund,
    • the Medical Cannabidiol Pilot Study,
    • the Municipal Natural Gas System Emergency Assistance Act, and
    • the Nebraska Economic Development Task Force.
  • Removes the listed sections from the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska and from the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024.

Sections repealed (by citation)

  • 19-5601 through 19-5608
  • 28-463 through 28-469
  • 43-1306 (Rev. Stat. Cumulative Supp., 2024)
  • 50-435
  • 81-1213
  • 81-1429.01

Who/what is affected

  • Primary effect: the statutory code — obsolete provisions are removed from state law.
  • No active programs or ongoing funds are created or altered by this bill because the repealed provisions had already terminated. State agencies, local governments, and private parties are not expected to experience new programmatic changes as a result of these repeals.

Legislative timeline & final status

  • Introduced: January 9, 2025
  • Placed on General File and Select File in January 2025; advanced through enrollment and review in February 2025
  • Passed Final Reading: February 21, 2025 (48–0–1)
  • Presented to the Governor: February 21, 2025
  • Approved by the Governor: February 25, 2025

Impact and considerations

  • The bill is administrative in nature. Because the provisions repealed had already terminated, LB 2 is not expected to create new fiscal obligations or programmatic changes. Its effect is to reduce confusion and clutter in the statutory code by removing expired sections.
