The resolution proposes an interim study to assess the accessibility of Nebraska's unicameral legislative process for the general public. It aims to identify systematic and logistical barriers that hinder participation, such as transportation issues, unfamiliarity with the legislative process, challenges in securing paid leave from work, lack of accessible childcare during committee hearings, and technological obstacles for virtual participation. The study seeks to evaluate these barriers and develop policy and procedural recommendations to enhance equitable access for all Nebraskans.

The Executive Board of the Legislative Council is tasked with conducting this interim study and will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or Legislature upon completion. This initiative underscores the commitment to ensuring that the legislative process is inclusive and accessible to all citizens, addressing the various challenges that may prevent public engagement in governance.
