This bill amends section 76-1446 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. The key changes include stipulating that trials for possession actions must occur between ten and fourteen days after the summons is issued, unless additional time is granted by the court. The bill clarifies that if a judgment is made for the restitution of premises, the court will declare the rental agreement forfeited and issue a writ of restitution to restore possession to the plaintiff. The execution of this writ must occur no later than ten days after its issuance, although it can be expedited under specific conditions, such as if the defendant poses a threat to safety or if both parties agree.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the requirement for the plaintiff to adhere to the Disposition of Personal Property Landlord and Tenant Act when dealing with personal property left on the premises after possession is restored. The original section 76-1446 is repealed, indicating that the new provisions will replace the previous law. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process of possession actions while ensuring safety and compliance with existing property laws.
