Change provisions relating to veterans preferences for employment

Complete·4/10/25

Nebraska LB144 amends veterans preference provisions for employment in both public and private sectors.

Nebraska LB144 modifies the state's veterans preference laws for employment, affecting both public and private employers. It updates definitions for terms like "servicemember" and "veteran," and clarifies the documentation required for veterans and their spouses to claim preference. For public employment, preference is given to veterans and their spouses in hiring, promotion, and reassignment. Private employers can adopt voluntary veterans preference policies, which must be applied uniformly and reported to the Commissioner of Labor.
