Bill > LB1087

This bill establishes the Nebraska-Ireland Commission, a body composed of representatives from state government departments, educational institutions, business associations, non-profit organizations, and the public, along with non-voting legislative members, to foster mutually beneficial activities between Nebraska and Ireland. The commission's purpose is to promote bilateral trade and investment, collaborate on policy issues, facilitate business and academic exchanges, and support economic development and infrastructure investment in both regions. The commission will be housed within the Department of Economic Development, and a dedicated Nebraska-Ireland Fund will be created to cover administrative expenses and support its initiatives, funded through legislative transfers, fundraising, federal sources, gifts, and grants. Members will serve two-year terms without compensation but can be reimbursed for expenses, and the commission will elect a chairperson and vice-chairperson, meeting at least quarterly, with a quorum required for business. The commission is mandated to submit an annual report detailing its findings, results, and recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature.
