The bill amends section 70-1003 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, concerning the membership structure of the Nebraska Power Review Board. It establishes 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 specifies that the current composition of the board will remain until a member appointed under the previous structure vacates their position or their term expires, at which point the new composition will take effect.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions regarding the appointment and terms of board members, including a limit on consecutive terms and stipulations for filling vacancies. It also outlines the compensation structure for board members and the responsibilities of the board, including the requirement to publish a biennial report to the Governor and the Legislature. The original section 70-1003 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the existing legal framework governing the Nebraska Power Review Board's membership and operations.
