Bill > LB976

This bill modifies existing Nebraska law concerning sanitary and improvement districts, which are local government entities responsible for providing services like water, sewer, and street maintenance. Specifically, it adjusts the timing and composition of elections for the board of trustees, the governing body of these districts, by changing the years in which certain trustee positions are elected by resident property owners versus all property owners. Additionally, the bill increases the threshold for requiring competitive bidding on contracts for construction, materials, or equipment from twenty thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars, meaning that contracts costing more than this new amount must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder after public notice, though the board can still reject bids and re-advertise or negotiate.
