This bill amends section 76-2325.01 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to unlawful interference with telecommunications. The key change involves the inclusion of "broadband" and "communications" in the list of services protected under this law. Specifically, the bill states that any person who willfully and maliciously breaks, injures, destroys, or interferes with 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 removes references to "messages" and the "transmission of" light, heat, and power, streamlining the language to focus on the broader categories of telecommunications and broadband. The original section 76-2325.01 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
