The bill amends section 77-1633 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, to modify the requirements for political subdivisions in Nebraska that seek to increase their property tax requests beyond the allowable growth percentage. Key changes include the stipulation that at least one voting member of the governing body of each participating political subdivision must attend a joint public hearing, and the county assessor of the hosting county is also required to attend. The bill specifies that the joint public hearing must focus solely on the intent to increase property tax requests and outlines the necessary notifications and presentations that must occur during the hearing.

Additionally, the bill mandates that each political subdivision involved in the joint public hearing must send specific information to the county assessor and provide detailed notices to affected property taxpayers. The notices must include various details about the proposed tax increases and their potential impact on property taxes. The original section 77-1633 is repealed, indicating that the new provisions will replace the previous law entirely.
