This bill amends section 73-302 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance transparency regarding state agency contracts with private entities that also have contracts with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The amendment requires state agencies to provide additional information when seeking to enter into contracts with private entities. Specifically, agencies must now include any contracts that the private entity has with ICE, alongside existing requirements such as the proposed contract, a review of long-term cost savings, measurable goals for service quality improvement, and an assessment of alternative options within the agency.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 73-302, indicating a complete overhaul of the existing legal framework governing these contracts. The changes aim to ensure that state agencies are held accountable for their contracting decisions, particularly in relation to entities involved with immigration enforcement, thereby promoting greater oversight and public awareness of such agreements.
