This bill amends section 13-910 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to expand the scope of the Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act by allowing tort claims related to child abuse or sexual assault of a child. The new legal language specifies that claims arising from these acts are permissible when the harm is a proximate result of a political subdivision's failure to exercise reasonable care in controlling a person in their charge or protecting a person in their care from harm caused by a non-employee actor.

Additionally, the bill harmonizes existing provisions and repeals the original section 13-910. It clarifies that the exceptions to the political subdivisions' immunity from tort claims now explicitly include those related to child abuse or sexual assault, thereby ensuring that victims have a legal avenue for recourse against political subdivisions in such cases.
