The bill amends existing law to allow attorneys to make unsworn declarations under penalty of perjury as a substitute for sworn declarations in certain legal contexts. Specifically, it states that whenever a sworn declaration, verification, certificate, statement, oath, or affidavit is required from an attorney representing a party in an action, the attorney may instead provide an unsworn declaration that is signed and dated, affirming its truthfulness under penalty of perjury. This provision does not apply to depositions, oaths of office, or oaths required to be taken before a specified official other than a notary public.

The bill also outlines the required language for these unsworn declarations, specifying different formats depending on whether the declaration is executed inside or outside the State of Nebraska. The inclusion of this language aims to streamline the process for attorneys and enhance the efficiency of legal proceedings by allowing for a less formal declaration while still maintaining accountability through the penalty of perjury.
