Introduced Text

Nebraska LR408 proposes a study to examine if Nebraska should change its laws on the age of majority.

Nebraska LR408 calls for an interim study to explore whether Nebraska should amend its laws on the age of majority. Currently, Nebraska law defines the age of majority as 19, unlike most states which set it at 18. The study will consider the impact on child custody, support matters, foster care youth, and other potential effects. It will also review legislation, policies, or protocols from other states that have changed their age of majority laws. The Judiciary Committee will conduct the study and report findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
