This year three important agricultural bills were introduced in the Nebraska Legislature that the public needs to know about. These are three good agricultural bills which I have either introduced myself or co-signed along with the bill’s author. Each of these bills affects the agriculture industry in our state in a different way.
The first bill is LB 1396, and was introduced by Sen. Dave Murman of Glenvil. The bill would change the requirements for food manufacturers when labeling food products for sale for human consumption when that food product contains insect, worm, or any other bug ingredients. The bill would require the manufacturer to clearly label the food product in at least twelve-point font on the front label whenever the food product contains more than five percent of insect, worm, or bug ingredients. This is a good bill for the simple reason that people need to know what they are putting into their own bodies.
The second bill is LB 1301, and was introduced by Sen.
