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 November 2026 general election, the amendment will change the salary structure for legislators, transitioning from a fixed monthly salary of up to $1,000 to a compensation rate based on the state minimum wage starting January 6, 2027. Additionally, it stipulates that legislators will receive reimbursement for travel expenses related to regular or special sessions and will be provided with health insurance equivalent to Medicaid benefits.

The amendment also maintains the nonpartisan election process for legislative members and ensures that current members continue to serve their terms even if redistricting occurs. The proposed changes will be presented to voters with a ballot that asks whether they support the amendment to adjust legislative compensation and provide health insurance for members.
