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, specifically removing the requirement for appointments to be made with the approval of the Legislature. The bill establishes that the Governor will appoint fifteen members from among citizens of Nebraska who have demonstrated professional competence and experience in the arts, while still considering recommendations from relevant civic, educational, and professional associations.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the original section 82-309, effectively updating the legal framework governing the Nebraska Arts Council's membership appointments. This change aims to streamline the appointment process and enhance the council's ability to operate effectively in promoting the arts within the state.
