3.2.1. Bromm's Updates
Speaker(s):
Curt and Jason Bromm
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
Bromm's are present to share legislative updates. Mood is contentious on the floor. Trying to find out when LB 974 will come back to the floor. Senator Linehan has not yet submitted any amendments. Senator Boselman has eluded that she will come up with amendments to make the bill more palatable. We would like to see them to evaluate before they pop up on the floor. If funding is attached to any bills they expect that they will fail until property tax relief is figured out. Let Senators know we have concerns about funding for education. Discussion on Senator Groene, he met with public affairs group in chambers this week. LB 147 - Concerns every time something happens with a student, you have to report to parent and NDE. No time limit on when. Amendment 1803 - Senator Walz liability issues - school personnel and buildings can not be held liable if something happens. This was removed and we don't know why. This bill has been being filibustered, too many amendments out there. LB 947 - Senator Groene feels that this will incentivize schools to consolidate. Education is not getting much time on the floor but think it will come soon. LB 1186 - Requirement to pay injured school employees - cover before workers comp takes it. Would not need to use leave for injury - up to seven days. School Boards have some concerns with this bill. Concerns about them being double paid for those seven days. LB 751 Senator Blood - addresses mental health issues. Issues discussed that the education coalition can live with: lower the LER (local effort rate), raise the SPED reimbursements, increase the allocated income tax, put any additional dollars in the property tax rebate fund. They would like a quick turn around on these four areas. Bromm's attended the Governors luncheon on Monday and spent time talking about issues including the cornavirus. Legislative Day - make sure that each ESU is reaching out personally. Make sure there is also a follow-up afterwards. Positive feedback on the legislative day. Senators felt the conversations were really helpful. Use time in between breakfast and lunch to go over and say hi and talk about important issues.
