Bill > LB678

This bill states the intent to appropriate funds from the General Fund to the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges for specific purposes during fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. The appropriations are designated for salary increases stemming from negotiated agreements with several employee associations, including the Nebraska Association of Public Employees, the State College Education Association, and the Nebraska State College System Professional Association. Additionally, the funds will cover minimum wage increases mandated by the Wage and Hour Act and increases in health insurance premiums. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it would take effect immediately upon passage and approval, allowing the state colleges to quickly implement the specified financial provisions. While the exact dollar amounts are not specified in the provided text (marked as $XXX), the bill clearly outlines the intended use of the appropriated funds to support employee compensation and benefits within the Nebraska State College system.
