Bill > LB951

This bill makes changes to how municipal elections and districts are handled in Nebraska, specifically concerning areas outside a city's official boundaries but within its zoning jurisdiction. The key provision is that people living in these "extraterritorial zoning jurisdictions" will now be considered electors, meaning they can vote in municipal elections and will be included when cities redraw their governing board districts. This applies to cities of the metropolitan, primary, and first class, as well as second-class cities and villages. The bill also mandates that cities and villages that elect their governing board members by district must redraw these districts to include their extraterritorial zoning areas by January 1, 2027, and any future redrawings must also incorporate these areas. Extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction refers to the unincorporated land surrounding a city that the city has the authority to regulate for zoning and building purposes, typically extending a certain distance beyond its corporate limits.
