Bill > LR239

This resolution directs the Urban Affairs Committee of the Nebraska Legislature to conduct an interim study examining food access in urban qualified census tracts (geographic areas defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, typically characterized by lower income levels or specific demographic characteristics). The study will focus on understanding the status and impact of accessing fresh and nutritious food in these urban areas. Upon completing the study, the committee is required to prepare a comprehensive report detailing their findings and recommendations, which will be submitted to the Legislative Council or the full Legislature. This type of interim study is a common legislative mechanism for gathering in-depth information about a specific issue without immediately proposing new legislation, allowing lawmakers to better understand complex social and economic challenges related to food accessibility in urban communities.
