This legislative bill amends various sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska and the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to modify the powers, duties, and membership of several boards, commissions, and committees. It notably terminates multiple advisory councils and boards, including the advisory council for the Private Postsecondary Career School Act and the Board of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, effective July 1, 2026. The bill consolidates the Nebraska Potato Development Act and the Nebraska Potato Inspection Act into a single act, also set to terminate on July 1, 2026. Additionally, it introduces changes to the composition of boards such as the Board of Nursing, increasing membership and shifting responsibilities to ensure a smooth transition by the termination date.

The bill further establishes new committees and task forces, including the Children's Behavioral Health Task Force and the Vacant Building and Excess Land Committee, both set to expire on July 1, 2026. It emphasizes collaboration among stakeholders to enhance child welfare services and outlines the responsibilities of various advisory committees related to solid waste management and emergency planning. The Nebraska Information Technology Commission and the Rural Broadband Task Force are also restructured, with the latter focusing on improving broadband access in rural areas. Overall, the bill aims to streamline government operations, eliminate outdated entities, and enhance public health and welfare services while ensuring necessary functions continue under revised frameworks.
