This bill amends section 49-1446.02 of the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act to clarify and expand the provisions regarding prohibited expenditures by political committees. The bill specifies that committees are not allowed to make expenditures for various personal expenses of candidates and their immediate families, including clothing, medical expenses, and personal debts. Additionally, it introduces new prohibitions for ballot question committees and candidate committees, specifically regarding the influence of voters and the provision of goods and services on behalf of ballot question committees.

The amendments include the insertion of new language that explicitly prohibits candidate committees from providing goods, materials, services, or facilities to ballot question committees, while also allowing candidates to express their positions on ballot questions. The bill repeals the original section 49-1446.02, thereby updating the legal framework governing political expenditures in Nebraska to ensure greater accountability and transparency in campaign financing.
