The resolution proposes an interim study aimed at identifying and addressing the systemic and logistical barriers that hinder civic participation among residents in high-poverty and marginalized communities in Nebraska. These barriers include issues such as language access, limited transportation, lack of child care, insufficient understanding of civic processes, and a history of disenfranchisement. The study seeks to evaluate how state and local systems can be improved or supported to promote equitable access to civic engagement and participation in democratic institutions.

The Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform future actions to enhance civic participation in the state.
