Nebraska LB546 amends provisions for disaster, emergency, and civil defense proclamations by the Governor.

Nebraska LB546 changes the rules for how the Governor can issue proclamations during disasters, emergencies, and civil defense emergencies. The bill allows the Governor to commandeer private property, direct evacuations, control movement within affected areas, and suspend sales of certain items. It also lets political subdivisions request emergency proclamations for multiple counties. The bill repeals the old section and declares an emergency, making it effective immediately upon approval.
