The resolution proposes an interim study to investigate the systemic and logistical barriers that hinder civic participation among residents in high-poverty and marginalized communities in Nebraska. It identifies specific challenges such as language access, limited transportation, lack of child care, insufficient knowledge of civic processes, and historical disenfranchisement. The goal of the study is to evaluate how state and local systems can be restructured 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, aiming to enhance civic participation among underserved populations in the state.
