Bill > LR7CA

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change the salary of Nebraska state legislators from their current limit of not exceeding one thousand dollars per month to a fixed annual salary of thirty thousand dollars. The proposed amendment would be submitted to voters at the general election in November 2026 and, if approved, would modify Article III, Section 7 of the Nebraska Constitution. The ballot language will directly ask voters whether they support changing legislative salaries to thirty thousand dollars per year, with a simple "For" or "Against" option. In addition to the salary, legislators would continue to receive reimbursement for travel expenses to and from legislative sessions. The resolution maintains other existing provisions about legislative elections, such as nonpartisan election procedures and four-year terms, while focusing specifically on updating the compensation structure for state lawmakers.
