Nebraska LB863 requires the Department of Correctional Services to construct solid and continuous physical barriers around facilities within one hundred yards of any residential property line. These barriers aim to reduce noise and visual intrusion, improve neighborhood safety and privacy, and deter trespassing and unauthorized contact between inmates, facility visitors, and residents. The law applies to existing facilities and those constructed or operated after the act's effective date.
