This bill amends section 60-6,273 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, specifically regarding the admissibility of evidence related to the use of occupant protection systems or three-point safety belts in civil proceedings. The new legal language states that evidence showing a person was not wearing such safety devices at the time of injury is now admissible for determining liability and proximate cause, as well as for mitigation purposes.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous restriction that such evidence "shall not be admissible" regarding liability issues, and it also eliminates the limitation that damages could not be reduced by more than five percent based on the lack of safety belt use. The original section of the law is repealed, reflecting these changes in the legal framework surrounding occupant protection systems in Nebraska.
