This bill amends section 49-1402 of the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act to update the legislative findings regarding the conduct of election campaigns and the accountability of public officials. The amendments include changes to the language for clarity and emphasis, such as replacing "That the" with "The" and "That there" with "There," as well as inserting the term "accountability" to highlight the need for increased transparency in campaign funding and expenditures.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of state and local elections by ensuring that public officials act independently and impartially, free from conflicts of interest. It acknowledges that while most public officials serve with integrity, there is a need for enhanced accountability and guidance in their conduct. The original section 49-1402 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
