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 will establish an 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, the amendment maintains that members will be elected in a nonpartisan manner, without any political party affiliation indicated on the ballot, and will continue to receive reimbursement for actual travel expenses related to legislative sessions.
The resolution outlines the process for submitting this amendment to the electorate, specifying that it will be presented in accordance with the procedures established in Article XVI, section 1 of the Nebraska Constitution. The ballot language will clearly state the proposed change, allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment.
