Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Nebraska Visitors Development Act; to amend section 81-3725, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to provide an additional grant under the Nebraska Visitors Development Act; to provide powers and duties to the Nebraska Tourism Commission; to state intent relating to funding; to repeal the original section; and to declare an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Nebraska Visitors Development Act to create a new grant program for organizations that promote tourism and visitors through exhibits and trails, specifically those located along the Missouri River and within five miles of a first-class city. The Nebraska Tourism Commission, which is the state agency responsible for promoting tourism, will oversee this new grant, and eligible organizations must apply by providing details about their services, how the grant will be used, and other required information. The bill also expresses the Legislature's intent to allocate $150,000 from the state's General Fund for fiscal year 2026-27 to support these grants, and it repeals the original section of law to enact these changes, declaring an emergency so the bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
