LB1256

Redefine a term under the Emergency Management Act

Complete·4/10/26

Nebraska LB1256 redefines the term "technological hazard" under the Emergency Management Act.

Nebraska LB1256 amends the Emergency Management Act by redefining the term "technological hazard." This term now includes hazards from the manufacture, transportation, and use of substances such as radioactive materials, chemicals, explosives, flammables, agricultural pesticides, herbicides, disease agents, oil spills, and debris from space. The bill repeals the original section and replaces it with this new definition to better align with current emergency management practices.
