The resolution addresses the expulsion of Senator Dan McKeon from the Nebraska Legislature following a formal investigation into multiple allegations of workplace harassment and inappropriate conduct. The investigation, initiated by a Special Personnel Panel on September 3, 2025, found that Senator McKeon made inappropriate sexual remarks and engaged in unwanted physical contact with a female staff member, violating the Nebraska Legislature's Workplace Harassment Policy. Additionally, he was found to have retaliated against the complainant and created a hostile work environment, leading to concerns among other staff members about their safety and comfort in the workplace.
The Executive Board of the Legislature unanimously recommended Senator McKeon's expulsion due to his pattern of improper behavior and lack of accountability, which they deemed unbecoming of a legislative member. The resolution calls for his expulsion in accordance with the Nebraska Constitution and legislative rules, requiring a two-thirds vote from the elected members. It also directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Governor for the purpose of filling the vacancy created by McKeon's expulsion.
