This bill mandates that starting January 1, 2027, each state agency in Nebraska is required to conduct an annual examination of the fees they charge. The purpose of this examination is to assess whether the fees are adequate to cover the costs they are intended to address, ensuring that the fees do not exceed the necessary amount for cost recovery.
Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of a "state agency" to include any department, agency, board, bureau, or commission of the state. This broad definition ensures that all relevant entities are held accountable for reviewing their fee structures annually.
