This bill amends section 13-905 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act. The key changes include the requirement for political subdivisions to identify authorized recipients for tort claims on their official websites. Specifically, the bill mandates that these subdivisions maintain a notice on their homepage detailing the name, title, and mailing address of the official or law department responsible for receiving such claims. Additionally, it establishes that filing a claim with the designated official or department as listed on the website will be considered substantial compliance with existing filing requirements.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that tolls the deadlines for making a claim and bringing a suit if a political subdivision fails to keep the required information accurate and up-to-date. The amended section also clarifies that all claims must be submitted in writing, including relevant details such as the time and place of the incident. The original section 13-905 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
