The proposed constitutional amendment aims to modify Article III, section 7 of the Nebraska Constitution regarding the salary of members of the Legislature. If approved by voters in the November 2026 general election, the amendment would establish a fixed annual salary of thirty thousand dollars for each member, replacing the current provision that limits their salary to no more than one thousand dollars per month. Additionally, it maintains that members will receive reimbursement for actual travel expenses incurred while attending regular or special sessions of the Legislature.
The amendment also emphasizes that all members of the Legislature will be elected in a nonpartisan manner, without any indication of political party affiliation on the ballot. The resolution outlines the process for redistricting and ensures that members elected prior to any redistricting will continue to serve their terms, representing the newly established districts as specified by law. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters with a clear ballot language indicating the change in salary for legislative members.
