Discussion:
There were 81 bills and 24 constitutional amendments introduced during the 2024 Special Session. Five measures were passed and signed into law: LB 2, LB 3, LB 4, LB 34, and LB 34A. All five measures contained the emergency (E) clause, were passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor on August 20, 2024, and became operative on August 21, 2024.
Special Notes: There are two parts of LB 34, the main piece of legislation passed in the Special Session. The first is to establish the Property Tax Growth Limitation Act, which would be applicable to counties, cities, and villages. The second is the creation of the School District Property Tax Relief Act.
LB 34 does not amend the school finance formula, nor does it change the Property Tax Request Act (LB 644, 2023), except to harmonize language with the intent of LB 34. The measure also does not change the lids under the School District Property Tax Limitation Act (LB 243, 2023). |
