Interim study to assess if Nebraska should update its rules of evidence to match federal changes on expert testimony admissibility.

Nebraska LR371 proposes an interim study to determine if the state should amend its rules of evidence to mirror recent federal changes regarding the admissibility of expert testimony. The federal amendment, effective December 1, 2023, requires that expert testimony be based on sufficient facts and reliable methods. The Judiciary Committee will conduct the study and report findings to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
