Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; to amend sections 28-101, 28-618, 28-627.03, 28-627.04, and 28-1601, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to define a term; to prohibit conduct involving mail receptacle keys and locks and intent to defraud or deprive another of property; to harmonize provisions; and to repeal the original sections.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Nebraska law to create a new crime specifically targeting the unlawful possession, duplication, transfer, or use of keys or locks intended for mail receptacles, such as mailboxes, when done with the intent to defraud or steal another person's property. The bill defines "postal service" broadly to include the United States Postal Service, its contractors, and commercial mail delivery services. Violating this new provision is classified as a Class IV felony, meaning it is a serious crime with significant penalties. The bill also makes conforming changes to other sections of the law, including those related to financial transaction offenses and forfeiture of assets, to incorporate this new mail receptacle key and lock offense into existing criminal enterprise and asset forfeiture provisions. Finally, the bill repeals the original versions of the sections it amends.
