Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Nebraska Hall of Fame; to amend section 72-728, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to require the naming of a person to the Nebraska Hall of Fame; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding the Nebraska Hall of Fame Commission to require the naming of one living person to the Hall of Fame prior to January 1, 2027, with specific qualifications including having been a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, a former head coach of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln football team, having served as Athletic Director for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and having attended Hastings High School. The bill also repeals the original section of law it amends, which previously outlined a process for inducting individuals into the Hall of Fame, generally limiting inductions to one person every five years and requiring a minimum of thirty-five years after a person's death before they could be inducted, with an exception for Nebraskans awarded the Medal of Honor.
