This bill amends section 76-2325.01 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, specifically addressing unlawful interference with telecommunications. The new language expands the scope of the law to include "broadband" and "communications" alongside telecommunications and electric services. It specifies that any person who willfully and maliciously damages or disrupts the facilities of telecommunications, broadband, or railroad companies, as well as electric light and power companies, will face penalties as outlined in section 28-519.
Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 76-2325.01, indicating a complete overhaul of the existing legal framework regarding these offenses. The changes aim to enhance the protection of telecommunications infrastructure by explicitly including broadband services, reflecting the evolving nature of communication technologies.
