Nebraska State Historical Society improvements

Back in January I introduced LB 1169, which was a bill to turn the Nebraska State Historical Society into a state code agency. The Nebraska State Historical Society had drifted far away from its original purpose and was engaging in practices which lacked accountability, especially in regards to the institution’s finances. Turning them into a state code agency allowed the Governor to appoint the director and greatly increased their level of accountability.

I made LB 1169 my personal priority bill this year and it passed in the Legislature.
