Nebraska LB686 prohibits government entities and officials from maintaining lists of firearm owners and restricts the use of merchant category codes.

Nebraska LB686 aims to protect the privacy of firearm owners by prohibiting government entities and officials from maintaining any lists of privately owned firearms or their owners, except for those records kept during criminal investigations or as required by law. Additionally, the bill restricts payment card networks from using merchant category codes to distinguish firearm retailers from other retailers. The Attorney General has exclusive authority to enforce these provisions, with the ability to seek injunctions and impose civil fines for violations.
