What changed

LB921 adopts two new acts: the Nebraska Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requiring advance notice to workers and state agencies before plant closures or mass layoffs, and the Health Care Staffing Agency Registration Act establishing registration requirements for healthcare staffing agencies operating in Nebraska. The bill also modifies multiple existing employment-related statutes including the Employment Security Law and In the Line of Duty Compensation Act.

Affected parties including employers planning layoffs or closures and healthcare staffing agencies should monitor this bill for gubernatorial action. If signed, employers would face new advance notice requirements and staffing agencies would need to complete registration with state authorities. The bill represents a significant expansion of Nebraska employment law affecting workforce transition requirements and healthcare staffing oversight.
