Legislative Bill 32 amends sections 49-1446.02 and 49-1446.03 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to allow campaign committees to allocate funds for security services and systems. Specifically, the bill introduces new provisions that permit expenditures for security personnel, hardware, software, electronic security equipment, installation, maintenance, monitoring, and other physical and structural security measures. This addition aims to enhance the safety and security of candidates during their campaigns.

In addition to the new provisions, the bill also harmonizes existing language regarding permissible campaign expenditures. It clarifies that funds cannot be used for personal expenses such as clothing, medical costs, or personal debts, while allowing for certain campaign-related services and office operations. The original sections of the law are repealed, and the bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage due to the declaration of an emergency.
