Cover for Nebraskans Against Government Overreach
12,005
We've wrapped up our evening of watching Judiciary Committee with Senator Murman's LB1242 which allows courts, in consultation with the mother, to grant child support payments during pregnancy and Senator Storm's LB908 which requires a judge to take in to account credible research showing increased intellectual and social growth in children who have equal access to both parents when developing parenting plan in divorce proceedings.Of course, LB1243 drew the very negative attention of Planned Parenthood who was more concerned about a conspiracy of attempted personhood legislation rather than focusing on the support provided to a pregnant mother (which of course they refer to as pregnant people 🙄), because as we all know they don't really care about moms or babies, just abortion access. Senator DeBoer expressed hesitancy hinging on when and if paternity can be determined before a baby (which she would only refer to as a fetus - which literally means baby, but we digress) is born... Fortunately, with the quick thinking of Senator Holdcroft, it was determined that paternity can be determined as early as 8 weeks with a simple blood test of the mother (as the baby's DNA circulates through her blood) and a cheek swab of the father.All agreed that costs are incurred BEFORE the baby is born, but the Democrats will find themselves hard pressed to push the bill forward based on the opposing testimony from the ACLU and Planned Parenthood.Senator Storm's bill had gut wrenching testimony from parents that were unfairly treated during divorce proceedings that left them with far less than equal parenting time. Family courts, in many respects, are an entirely broken system. We certainly hope that the consideration of his bill would bring about a more impartial system that truly focuses on the best interest of the children - but, as one testifier pointed out, the ability to use hearsay as evidence all to often leads to a manipulated outcome.We are grateful for both of these senators and their very thoughtful approach to serving families in this state in some of the most vulnerable points in their lives. ...

Fascinating testimony on LB1232 from Senator Strommen that would allow for mountain lion hunting permits for landowners in designated hunting areas.One testifier drove in 8 hours to share with the committee the threat that mountain lions have created to her animals and the wildlife on their 108 year old family-owned ranch.Currently, landowners have to rely on permitted hunters and Game and Parks to track and handle threats from mountain lions. LB1232 would make it possible for the resident landowner to handle these threats on their own.Great bill from Senator Strommen! ... See MoreSee Less

Candidate for Congress in District 2 Brinker Harding testified in support of Senator Andersen's LB925 to Adopt the Safe Parks and Public Spaces Act which is aimed at addressing the homelessness problem in cities across Nebraska.While opposition labels the proponents as heartless or attempting to further criminalize the vulnerable populations, all of the proponents have been consistent in their testimony that the goal is to facilitate rehabilitation and promote public safety for the surrounding communities.We're glad to see Harding's commitment to this issue! ...

A quick hearing for LB935 from Senator Bosn that would deter frivolous or harassing litigation against a Nebraska political subdivision. Under LB 935, a political subdivision may request attorney’s fees and court costs any time it must defend against a claim that is frivolous or intended primarily to harass the political subdivision or its public officials.The examples provided by Bosn and the two proponents highlight valid reasons to enact legislation like LB935. There's certainly no denying that there are in fact frivolous lawsuits filed and the bill (which was seen at upwards of $100k in David City) then falls to the feet of the taxpayers.We appreciate the diligence of this committee on verbiage and definitions to ensure it could not be abused or used as retaliation against genuine attempts to hold government accountable. We only wish the same consideration had been given to the bill presented by former Senator Dan McKeon last session that would have provided similar compensation when a citizen of Nebraska is targeted by the government through litigation. (LB127 for reference) ... See MoreSee Less

The Unicameral spent the entire 3 hours this morning on ONE bill - LB795 - to Designate bromazolam as a controlled substance under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act and correct the spelling of certain controlled substances.The Democrats were relentless in the hopes of preventing Storer's amendment, which would increase the penalties for Fentanyl to match that of methenphatamine, heroin, and cocaine, which led to numerous procedural moves (calling the question) by Republican senators.An interesting discussion arose from this pertaining to term limits, collegiality, and the state of the institution as we know it today. The democrats, who hold a minority in the body of course view the change as a detriment to the institution - they feel less gets done and there's more division than ever. For the most part, we'll agree with that, but!, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Over the last several decades, in a time without term limits and greater bipartisanship, Nebraska saw increased taxes, increased tax exemptions, increased regulations on businesses, industry and Nebraska families, and we could go on and on, but the point is, they served special interests and lobbyists. Today, the division or controversy may be greater, but that is also a reflection of the expectations put on our representatives by those who elect them. Senators have a greater requirement to actually go and accomplish a certain policy change based upon the campaign promises made to their constituency. Now, we recognize that the pressures of lobbyists and special interests are not completely gone and in an attempt to maintain their grasp on the institution they will throw their weight (more so their money) behind candidates often from within their own ranks.The reality is, until Nebraskans begin to reject the pay to play candidates, it is safer for all Nebraskans, though frustrating to watch, when our Unicameral gets nothing done.So yes, an entire day was wasted on one silly bill that should easily be moved forward. But, at least there's one less day for them to advance or pass a dozen other crappy bills intended to benefit the special interest groups and that put the hardworking Nebraskans last. The legislature has adjourned and senators will pick up in committees at 1:30pm ... See MoreSee Less
