This bill amends sections 20-506 and 43-4202 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes to modify the membership of the Racial Profiling Advisory Committee and the Nebraska Children's Commission. For the Racial Profiling Advisory Committee, the bill adds a representative from the Commission on African American Affairs, while removing the requirement for a representative from the Commission on Indian Affairs. The committee will now consist of various stakeholders, including law enforcement representatives and civil rights organizations, to advise on racial profiling prevention policies and data collection.

In the Nebraska Children's Commission, the bill introduces a new requirement for the Governor to appoint an individual from a list of nominees submitted by the Commission on African American Affairs, in addition to maintaining representation from biological parents, young adults previously in foster care, and representatives from federally recognized Indian tribes. The commission aims to provide a collaborative forum for stakeholders in child welfare and juvenile justice systems, and it may hire staff, including a policy analyst, to support its operations. The bill also includes provisions for the reimbursement of commission members' expenses and expresses the intent to fund the commission's operations through the Nebraska Health Care Cash Fund for specific fiscal years.
