This bill amends various sections of the Nebraska Revised Statutes to update the election procedures and requirements for school district bonds and other governmental units. It mandates that the question of issuing school district bonds must be submitted at an election held in compliance with subsection (3) of section 32-559, rather than during special elections or alongside statewide elections. The bill also requires school boards to publish a special notice detailing the election day and polling hours. Additionally, it repeals section 10-703.01 and harmonizes provisions across the amended sections, aiming to streamline the election processes and ensure compliance with updated statutory requirements.

Moreover, the bill modifies budgetary limitations for governmental units, allowing exceptions and clarifying the process for exceeding budgeted restricted funds. It establishes that elections to exceed budget limits for school districts must also comply with subsection (3) of section 32-559. The bill outlines the responsibilities of election commissioners and county clerks in relation to the submission of issues to voters, including ballot preparation and election certification. It introduces provisions for school district elections concerning bond issuance and property tax levies, specifying that questions cannot be submitted for a vote within ten months of being defeated. The bill also allows for the establishment of special funds for housing facilities for school employees, contingent upon voter approval.
