Bill > LB377

This bill modifies the term limits for members of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission by changing the number of full terms a member can serve from two to three. Currently, the commission consists of nine members (eight representing districts and one at-large member) appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Legislature. The bill maintains existing requirements that commission members must be legal Nebraska residents, with at least three members actively engaged in agriculture, and no more than five members from the same political party. The key change is in section (2)(c), which now allows a person to serve three full terms instead of two before becoming ineligible for reappointment. Other provisions regarding member qualifications, term length (four years), and removal process remain unchanged. Members continue to be appointed based on district representation, with specific rules about maintaining residency and party affiliation, and can be removed by the Governor for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or misconduct after a formal hearing process.
