The resolution proposes an interim study to evaluate whether Nebraska should amend its laws regarding the age of majority, which is currently set at 19 years old. This makes Nebraska one of only three states, alongside Alabama and Mississippi, that maintains a higher age of majority than 18. The study will explore the implications of changing this age on various legal matters, including child custody, support issues, and the experiences of foster care youth. It will also investigate how other states have approached the age of majority and the outcomes of any legislative changes they have implemented.

The Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study and will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature upon completion. The resolution aims to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the potential impacts of amending the age of majority, considering both Nebraska's unique legal landscape and the experiences of other jurisdictions.
