Allows the use of deadly force without retreating when lawfully present in a motor vehicle in Nebraska.

Nebraska LB155 amends the state's statutes to allow the use of deadly force without retreating when lawfully present in a motor vehicle. This change applies to any person who uses force to protect themselves or others, provided they were not the initial aggressor. The bill also specifies that a person is not obliged to retreat from their dwelling, place of work, or a motor vehicle unless they were the initial aggressor. The legislation aims to harmonize provisions and repeals the original sections.
