Nebraska's 107th Legislature began on January 6, 2021. As bills are introduced, Disability Rights Nebraska analyzes and researches proposed legislation, outlines priorities in our bill chart, and educates policymakers and the public on how legislation will affect people with disabilities.
We address “High Priority” bills with testimony, personal contacts and education, and “Medium Priority” bills with letters, often in conjunction with other disability rights partners. Though legislation identified in the "Monitoring" category is followed closely, Disability Rights Nebraska does not take action or voice a position on these bills.
To learn about bills that Nebraska's disability community should watch this session, download our 2021 Legislative Priorities chart or view it below.
View our 2020 Legislative highlights video or 2020 Legislative Updates page to find out how our priority legislation did last session. For information on our post-session legislative work, view our 2020 Interim Studies Chart.
