This bill amends section 49-1446.03 of the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act to expand the types of expenditures that political committees can make. The new provisions allow for expenditures related to the necessary operation of campaign offices, social events for campaign workers and volunteers, obtaining public input, repayment of campaign loans, and communication efforts. Additionally, it introduces new categories for expenditures, including child care services incurred by officeholders and allows for the inclusion of the officeholder's minor children in certain expenses related to their duties.

The bill also updates the language to refer directly to "the officeholder" instead of using gendered pronouns, ensuring clarity and inclusivity. It specifies that expenditures for meals, lodging, and travel can include the officeholder's immediate family and staff when involved in official duties. The original section of the law is repealed to incorporate these changes effectively.
