The Nebraska Legislature has introduced a resolution calling for the immediate resignation of Elizabeth O'Connor from her position on the Board of Regents following her involvement in a serious two-vehicle crash on May 21, 2025. O'Connor has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) causing serious bodily injury, which is classified as a Class IIIA felony. The resolution cites the Nebraska Constitution, which allows for the impeachment of civil officers for misdemeanors committed in office, and asserts that the Legislature holds the sole power of impeachment.

Should O'Connor refuse to resign, the resolution states that articles of impeachment will be filed against her, which will be reviewed by the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. Additionally, the resolution directs the Clerk of the Legislature to send a certified copy of the resolution to O'Connor at her last-known address, and it calls upon the Governor to appoint someone to fill her vacated seat until a special election can be held.
