The bill amends sections 81-1802, 81-1803, and 81-1804 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, specifically regarding the membership and terms of the Crime Victim's Reparations Committee. The committee will now consist of five members from the commission and three public members appointed by the Governor, with specific representation requirements for the public members. These include representatives from charitable organizations, businesses, and individuals with relevant experience in victim support, as well as a victim themselves. The bill establishes a timeline for appointing these public members and specifies that their terms will begin on October 1, with some members serving two-year terms initially before transitioning to four-year terms.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for filling vacancies on the committee and ensures 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 The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, streamlining the legal framework governing the committee's structure and operations.
