Nebraska LB906 prohibits law enforcement officers from wearing facial coverings or disguises and mandates they wear appropriate identification.

Nebraska LB906 amends state statutes to prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing facial coverings or disguises while on duty, except in specific circumstances. Officers may wear facial coverings to prevent disease transmission, protect against bodily fluids, shield from smoke or irritants, or for underwater activities, motorcycle operation, or retinal protection. The bill requires officers to wear identification displaying their name, badge number, and employing agency. It also mandates that law enforcement agencies adopt policies consistent with these requirements by October 1, 2026.
