NEMSA Legislative Report
February 1, 2010

The Nebraska Unicameral Legislature convened January 6th, and bill introduction began. This is the 60 day “short” session and will run thru mid April. Because it is a short session, priority designation on bills is important to ensure passage, unless the legislation is amended into another bill. Bill introduction ran through January 20th, with 430 new bills being introduced in addition to the carryover bills from last session. The carryover bills were either not passed or killed last session so are still “in the mix” and may or may not be advanced this session. As always we are looking at ways to improve the recruitment and retention of volunteers, as well as protecting our providers.

Attached you will find a table with all the bills that NEMSA is monitoring for this session. New bills start with LB 719. More information is available on the legislative web site at http://nebraskalegislature.gov/

As updates to the hearing schedule and bills occur, we will update the legislative page on the web site at http://www.nemsa.org/legislative.htm

As always if you have any questions or concerns about any legislation, you may contact any NEMSA officer or myself at bbeins@frontiernet.net

Respectfully submitted,

Bruce Beins
Chair of the Advocacy Committee
