AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Worker Protections & Layoffs: Nebraska lawmakers advanced LB921, creating a Nebraska Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and new health care staffing agency registration rules, requiring employers with 25+ workers to give 60 days’ written notice before certain closings or mass layoffs, with limited exceptions and civil penalties up to $100/day. Workplace Injury Reporting: LB455 passed, tightening how reportable workers’ compensation injuries are defined and requiring injury reports to be filed within 10 days, while keeping those reports confidential with set exceptions. Community College Support: LB1086 cleared with an emergency clause, revising eligibility for community college gap assistance and clarifying when applications must be denied. Food Access in Schools: LB966 adopted the Hunger-Free Schools Act, expanding access to free breakfasts and lunches for qualifying students and directing state reimbursement for the gap. State Oversight & Reporting: LB1048 passed, streamlining and consolidating state agency reporting and budget-related requirements, including changes tied to environment and other programs. Environmental Health Watch: A new investigation reports Omaha yards in east Omaha still show toxic lead levels even after major EPA cleanup efforts. Rail Safety: A federal appeals court upheld the FRA’s two-person crew rule, blocking railroads’ push toward automation.
