The bill amends section 87-302 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act. It expands the definition of deceptive trade practices by adding new provisions that address various forms of misleading conduct, including the manufacture and distribution of harmful materials, deceptive representations regarding products, and the solicitation of charitable funds. Notably, the bill introduces specific language regarding the handling of sexually explicit content involving minors and trafficking victims, as well as clarifying the definitions of terms related to these practices.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that allows for multiple violations to be treated as separate offenses, particularly concerning the sale of individually packaged products that violate the act. It also clarifies that a complainant does not need to prove competition between parties to succeed in a claim under the act. The original section 87-302 is repealed, indicating a comprehensive update to the legal framework governing deceptive trade practices in Nebraska.
