Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to appropriations; to appropriate funds for certain tuition waivers; and to declare an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates funds for tuition waivers at two major Nebraska higher education systems - the Nebraska State Colleges and the University of Nebraska - for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. The bill provides specific funding for tuition waivers related to the First Responders Recruitment and Retention Act, the In the Line of Duty Dependent Education Act, and specific statutory sections (80-411 and 80-901), which are likely provisions supporting educational benefits for first responders, their families, or other specified groups. While the exact dollar amounts are not specified in the bill text (marked with "XXX"), the legislation ensures dedicated funding streams for these tuition waiver programs across two consecutive fiscal years. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it would take effect immediately upon passage, which suggests an urgent need to secure these educational support funds for the specified programs and beneficiaries.
