The bill amends several sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska concerning the Commission on African American Affairs. Key changes include the expansion of the commission's membership to include one member who identifies as an immigrant or new American and one young professional aged 18 to 25. Additionally, the bill stipulates that members can serve no more than two full four-year terms and mandates that the names of all commissioners be listed on the commission's website. The purpose of the commission is updated to enhance the well-being of African Americans and Black Americans across the diaspora in Nebraska, rather than solely focusing on African American rights.

Further amendments detail the commission's functions, which now include promoting legislation beneficial to the African American community, coordinating programs, and providing public information. The commission is required to meet quarterly, with at least one meeting held in the city with the largest African American population, and must publish meeting minutes and an annual report outlining its activities and initiatives. The executive board of the commission is also established to manage operations between meetings, with the authority to enter into contracts for services and supervise initiatives related to African American affairs. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed.
