Introduced Text

Nebraska LB129 prohibits local governments from restricting energy services like natural gas, electricity, and propane.

Nebraska LB129 amends state law to prohibit counties, cities, and villages from enacting ordinances or policies that restrict energy services. Specifically, it prevents restrictions on natural gas utilities, transmission companies, propane dispensers, and other energy marketers. The bill aims to ensure that these entities can freely deliver energy sources such as natural gas, electricity, gasoline, hydrogen, and liquified petroleum gas to customers in Nebraska. Exceptions are made for natural gas utilities owned by cities or villages and regulations on propane marketers.
