It’s Day 70 of the 2025 Legislative Session, and we’re still at the Capitol every day fighting for a Nebraska in which every person can thrive.
Here’s an update on how you can take action this week:
Last Week’s Highlights
Last week, the Legislature advanced three important bills on which you can still make your voice heard:
✅LB192 (Sen. Quick) was advanced to Final Reading. This bill preserves access to food for thousands of Nebraska families by maintaining the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)’s current income eligibility level – which will decrease in October unless the state senators act now.
- See how your senator voted, and tell them to SUPPORT ✅LB192 on Final Reading. (Find your senator.)
✅LB275 (Sen. Hunt) was advanced to Select File. This bill provides more transparency, opportunities for engagement, and access to benefits for young people in foster care receiving social security benefits.
- See how your senator voted, and tell them to SUPPORT ✅LB275 ahead of Select File. (Find your senator.)
❌LB89 (Sen. Kauth) was also advanced to Select File. This bill restricts what activities and spaces trans Nebraskans have access to and requires all state agencies to follow its narrow definitions of “male” and “female.” LB89 is harmful, unnecessary, and inaccurate. Trans Nebraskans deserve access to the same school activities and facilities as other Nebraskans.
- See how your senator voted, and tell them to OPPOSE ❌LB89 ahead of Select File. (Find your senator.)
This Week: Bills We’re Watching
The following bills are on Select File and could come up for debate again at any time:
❌LB258 (Sen. Raybould) would harm workers by severely weakening Nebraska’s minimum wage law by carving out a subminimum wage for workers under the age of 20 AND restricting the cost of living increases that Nebraskans voted for.
- See how your senator voted during this bill’s first round of debate, and tell them to OPPOSE ❌LB258 ahead of Select File.
❌LB415 (Sen. Ballard) removes paid sick leave protections from 140,000 hardworking Nebraskans and removes important protections for workers who face retaliation from their employers for using paid sick leave.
- See how your senator voted during this bill’s first round of debate, and tell them to OPPOSE ❌LB415 ahead of Select File.
