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 issuance of the summons, 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 within a specified timeframe.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions allowing the court to execute the writ of restitution in less than ten days if there is evidence that the defendant poses a true and imminent threat to the safety of others or if both parties agree to it. The bill also emphasizes the requirement for the plaintiff to comply with the Disposition of Personal Property Landlord and Tenant Act when dealing with personal property left on the premises. The original section 76-1446 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
