This bill amends section 82-309 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Nebraska Arts Council. The primary change involves the appointment process for council members. The bill removes the requirement for appointments to be made by the Governor with the approval of the Legislature, streamlining the process by allowing the Governor to appoint members directly from among citizens known 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 The original section 82-309 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous appointment process for the Nebraska Arts Council.
