LB935 - Nebraska Enacts Comprehensive Criminal Justice Reforms
Summary
Nebraska Governor signed LB935 into law on April 10, 2026. The bill passed 38-11 with an Emergency Clause, making it effective immediately. The legislation amends multiple criminal offenses including stalking, swatting, unmanned aircraft system operations, and mobile tracking devices; modifies court procedures for fees, hearsay, and protection orders; and creates new civil actions related to prohibited content and child exploitation devices.
What changed
LB935 adds new criminal offenses and modifies existing ones in Nebraska, including provisions on stalking, swatting, unlawful intrusion, mobile tracking devices, and operation of unmanned aircraft systems. The bill also creates new civil causes of action relating to prohibited content or child exploitation devices and establishes no-contact periods for assault victims.
Legal professionals, courts, and law enforcement should monitor implementation of these changes. The bill affects criminal defense practice, prosecution, and civil litigation in Nebraska, with modifications to protection order procedures, hearsay exceptions, paternity proceedings, and support order liens.
What to do next
- Monitor updated criminal offense definitions under LB935
- Review court procedure changes including hearsay and protection order modifications
- Track implementation of new civil action provisions for prohibited content
