This legislative bill amends various sections of the Nebraska Revised Statutes to enhance the electronic delivery of notices and documents under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act. It introduces a definition of "writing" or "written" to include electronic communications and establishes guidelines for electronic delivery methods, which must comply with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The bill requires consent from both tenants and landlords for electronic communications and clarifies that withdrawal of consent does not invalidate notices sent prior to the withdrawal. Additionally, it mandates that if electronic delivery fails, notices must be sent through traditional means.

The bill also includes provisions that prevent landlords from making electronic delivery a condition of rental agreements and requires them to inform tenants about the necessary hardware and software for accessing electronic documents. Key changes involve the insertion of definitions and procedures for electronic delivery, as well as the repeal of conflicting sections of existing law to ensure a streamlined communication process in rental agreements. Overall, the amendments aim to modernize interactions between landlords and tenants while maintaining legal protections and requirements.
