AI Summary
This bill aims to terminate, modify, and consolidate numerous boards, commissions, committees, councils, and task forces across various state agencies in Nebraska. The bill systematically sets termination dates of July 1, 2026, for many advisory bodies and government groups, including the Women's Health Initiative Advisory Council, the Climate Assessment Response Committee, the Nebraska Aquaculture Board, the Advisory Council on Public Water Supply, the Technical Panel for the Nebraska Information Technology Commission, and many others. In many cases, the bill transfers the duties of these terminating bodies to existing state departments or agencies. For example, the Department of Health and Human Services will assume responsibilities of the State Advisory Committee on Substance Abuse Services, and the Nebraska Information Technology Commission will take over the duties of the technical panel. The bill also makes various technical changes to state statutes, such as modifying board compositions, redefining terms, and updating references to reflect these organizational changes. Additionally, the bill repeals several sections of existing statutes that are now considered obsolete or redundant. The overall intent appears to be streamlining state government operations, reducing administrative complexity, and consolidating similar functions across different agencies and advisory bodies.
