The proposed constitutional amendment aims to modify Article III, section 7 of the Nebraska Constitution regarding the compensation and benefits of members of the Legislature. If approved in the general election scheduled for November 2026, the amendment will establish that, starting January 6, 2027, each member of the Legislature will be compensated at the rate of the state minimum wage, rather than the current salary cap of one thousand dollars per month. Additionally, the amendment stipulates that members will receive reimbursement for actual travel expenses incurred while attending regular or special sessions and will be provided with health insurance benefits equivalent to those offered by Medicaid at the beginning of their term.

The amendment also maintains the nonpartisan election process for members of the Legislature and ensures that current members will continue to serve their terms even if redistricting occurs. The proposed changes will be presented to voters with a ballot that asks for approval or rejection of the amendment, which focuses on adjusting legislative compensation and providing health insurance for members.
