This bill amends section 28-101 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, to establish new regulations regarding the attire of law enforcement officers while performing their duties in Nebraska. It prohibits officers from wearing facial coverings or personal disguises and mandates that they wear appropriate identification that includes their name, badge number, and the name or initials of their employing agency. The bill also defines key terms such as "appropriate identification," "facial covering," and "personal disguise," and outlines specific exceptions to the prohibition, including situations involving covert operations or circumstances where facial coverings are necessary for health or safety reasons.

Additionally, the bill specifies that violations of these regulations will be classified as a Class III misdemeanor. The original section 28-101 is repealed, and the new provisions are intended to enhance transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices while allowing for necessary exceptions in certain situations.
