This bill amends section 81-836 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, focusing on the Committee on Pacific Conflict. It modifies the committee's membership by increasing the number of legislative members from four to five, who will serve as nonvoting members. The bill also eliminates certain obsolete provisions and harmonizes existing laws. Additionally, it establishes that the committee will be authorized for an initial period of three years and will meet at least once every three months, with provisions for emergency meetings.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the committee's responsibilities, including the ability to produce policy recommendations, conduct secure hearings with critical infrastructure providers, and liaise with federal and state authorities. It mandates the Governor to produce an annual state threat assessment that summarizes the committee's nonconfidential findings while ensuring that sensitive information regarding state critical infrastructure is protected. The bill also allows the committee to create a confidential report, accessible only with the Governor's approval, to preserve important information for state leaders. The original section 81-836 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
