Bill > LB502

This bill amends the Farm Labor Contractors Act to add a new penalty provision for seed corn producers and farm labor contractors. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 48-1714 to introduce a third subsection that establishes a Class IV misdemeanor for violations of section 48-1715. The bill maintains existing penalties for other violations, such as defacing a farm labor contractor license, using another person's license, or operating as a farm labor contractor without a license, which remain Class II misdemeanors. A misdemeanor in Nebraska is a criminal offense less serious than a felony, with Class II misdemeanors typically carrying potential penalties of up to six months in jail and/or a fine, while Class IV misdemeanors are generally considered the least serious criminal offense. The bill does not provide details about the specific nature of the section 48-1715 violations that would trigger the new misdemeanor penalty, but it appears to be aimed at creating additional legal consequences for certain actions by seed corn producers and farm labor contractors.
