This bill amends section 2-1201 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, concerning the State Racing and Gaming Commission. The primary change involves the removal of redundant language regarding the appointment of commission members by the Governor, who must be confirmed by a majority of the Legislature. The bill clarifies that the commission will consist of seven members, with specific terms for representatives from each congressional district and at-large members, including requirements for experience in the Nebraska gaming and horseracing industries.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that no more than four members can belong to the same political party, and it sets forth guidelines for residency and appointment procedures for filling vacancies. It also establishes the compensation for commission members and outlines their financial interests, ensuring that no member has a personal financial stake in any licensed racetrack or gaming operator during their term. The original section 2-1201 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
