Summary

Nebraska Governor signed LB962, the Youth Reentry and Transitional Support Act, into law on April 10, 2026. The bill passed the 109th Legislature unanimously (49-0) and establishes programs and services for youth transitioning from juvenile justice or criminal justice systems back into communities. The legislation was sponsored by Sen. Terrell McKinney and advanced through multiple amendments before final passage.

What changed

Nebraska enacted the Youth Reentry and Transitional Support Act (LB962), establishing a new statutory framework to support youth reentering communities from juvenile or criminal justice systems. The law creates transitional support programs and removes barriers to reintegration for affected youth.\n\nAffected parties including state agencies, service providers, and local governments should monitor for implementing regulations and begin assessing current practices against the new requirements. The legislation may impose new obligations on entities providing services to justice-involved youth.

What to do next

  1. Review LB962 provisions to understand youth reentry program requirements
  2. Coordinate with relevant state agencies on implementation
  3. Establish compliance procedures for applicable service providers
