This bill amends section 82-309 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Nebraska Arts Council. The key change involves the appointment process for council members, as the bill removes the requirement for appointments to be made with the approval of the Legislature. Instead, the Governor will have the authority to appoint members directly from among citizens of Nebraska who are recognized for their professional competence and experience in the arts.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes that when making appointments, the Governor should consider recommendations from civic, educational, and professional associations involved in the arts. The original section 82-309 is repealed, streamlining the appointment process and potentially allowing for a more efficient selection of council members.
