The bill amends the structure and membership requirements of the Crime Victim's Reparations Committee in Nebraska. It establishes that the committee will consist of five members from the commission and three public members appointed by the Governor, with specific representation requirements. The new provisions require that two public members represent charitable organizations that assist victims, with at least one focusing on sexual assault, human trafficking, or domestic abuse. Additionally, two public members with relevant experience in victim support and one public member who is a victim will be appointed. The bill also stipulates that the terms for public members will begin on October 1, with some members serving two-year terms initially before transitioning to four-year terms.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the process for filling vacancies on the committee, ensuring that appointments are made for the remainder of the term. It specifies that members whose terms have expired will continue to serve until their successors are appointed. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, streamlining the legal framework governing the committee's operations.
