Summary

Nebraska Governor signed LB904 into law on April 7, 2026, amending the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act to address Chinese military companies. The bill passed 45-0-4 in the Senate after advancing through the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. This legislation imposes new disclosure and accountability requirements on entities connected to Chinese military operations.

What changed

LB904 enacts new requirements relating to Chinese military companies under the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act. The bill was introduced by Senator John Arch and advanced through the legislative process with unanimous support in committee and near-unanimous passage on Final Reading. The amendment FA544 filed by Senator Kauth was withdrawn during floor processing.

Affected parties in Nebraska include public companies, investors, government agencies, and any entities conducting business with or holding investments in companies designated as Chinese military companies under the new framework. Businesses should assess their exposure to Chinese military-affiliated entities and prepare for enhanced disclosure obligations. Companies with existing relationships or contracts involving these entities should review their status and prepare documentation for accountability and disclosure purposes.

What to do next

  1. Identify any business relationships or investments involving Chinese military companies subject to the new requirements
  2. Review and update political accountability and disclosure procedures to ensure compliance with LB904 provisions
  3. Monitor for implementing regulations or guidance from Nebraska state agencies
