The bill amends section 70-1003 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, concerning the membership structure of the Nebraska Power Review Board. The revised provisions specify that the board will consist of five members, including at least one engineer, one attorney, and three additional persons. Notably, one of these additional members must be a licensed journeyman electrician affiliated with a nonprofit labor organization for electrical workers. The bill also introduces a transition period during which the current composition of the board will remain until a member's term expires or their position is vacated, after which the new membership structure will take effect.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that limits the number of board members who can be affiliated with the same political party as the Governor to three. It maintains the requirement for board members to be appointed by the Governor with legislative approval and outlines the compensation structure for board members. The original section 70-1003 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous membership guidelines for the Nebraska Power Review Board.
