Education & Workforce: LB1086 tightens community college gap assistance eligibility, and LB1022 removes human relations training from Nebraska substitute teacher certificate requirements. Public Safety & Governance: LB986 allows campaign funds to pay for candidate security services and systems, and LB852 lets counties recapture certain Convention Center Support Fund money if recipients move operations.
