Senator Rob Clements Update 6-7-2021

The Nebraska Legislature adjourned the 2021 Session early on May 27. A call for a special session this fall will take place to address redistricting, which could not be done during the regular session due to the delay of the federal government getting the information out to the states. Again, I would like to update you on other legislation that passed this session.

A bill dealing with rural broadband availability, LB 388, passed with a unanimous 49-0 vote. It creates the Nebraska Broadband Bridge Act, providing $40 million dollars over the next two years to fund grants to unserved and underserved areas around the state to improve high speed broadband internet service. Intended to increase demand for Nebraska food products, LB 396, creates a Farm-to-School Program. The Additionally, it provides hands-on learning opportunities such as farm visits, school gardening, cookingdemonstrations, and composting programs.

LB 644 requires counties, cities, school districts, and community colleges to hold a joint public hearing to passa resolution or ordinance when the property tax asking grows over two percent. It requires notification bypostcard to the affected taxpayers by the political subdivision seeking to increase their property tax request.

Finally, regarding telehealth, LB 400 changes telehealth laws in Nebraska. It allows patients to provide verbalconsent during an initial telehealth visit, instead of previously having to first provide written consent beforereceiving treatment. With the new verbal consent standard, written consent is required within 10 days.Moreover, LB 487 prohibits medical insurance companies from charging higher rates for using telehealthservices.
