Summary

Nebraska's LB1108 passed the House 49-0-0 on April 9, 2026, amending state law governing contracts and bidding requirements for joint entities and public power districts. The bill, introduced by Senator Stanley Clouse, establishes new procedural requirements and exceptions for public contracting. Compliance obligations for affected public entities will take effect following the governor's signature.

What changed

LB1108 modifies Nebraska's existing statutory framework governing contracts entered into by joint entities and public power districts, introducing new bidding requirements and exceptions. The bill advanced through the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee before passing 49-0-0 on final reading.

Affected public entities—including public power districts and joint entities formed under Nebraska law—must prepare for revised procurement procedures and compliance obligations. State agencies overseeing public utilities should review internal contracting policies to ensure alignment with the new requirements once signed into law.

What to do next

  1. Review LB1108 contract and bidding provisions upon publication
  2. Update procurement policies for joint entities and public power districts to reflect new requirements
  3. Monitor Nebraska Legislature for implementing regulations or guidance
