The Homestead National Historic Park hosted an event on August 8th for any senators, legislative staff and their families. We had the opportunity to learn about the Homestead Act and how Nebraska and other states were homesteaded. We also walked the nature trail and learned about wildlife during the hike. A park ranger shared information about various animals that live in Nebraska, showing furs and skulls and explaining what the animals eat. Everyone had a chance to make a cornhusk doll, churn butter, make a button spinner, and participate in several other activities. I encourage everyone to visit the Homestead National Park to learn about homesteading, tour the museum and enjoy a wonderful day exploring the park. Thank you to the Park Rangers and the Homestead Foundation for sponsoring our day at the Park.

District 30 Update – July Senator Myron Dorn

The summer months have been speeding by. Even though my tenure as a state senator is winding down, various activities have kept me busy. Over the last few months, I have had the opportunity to visit a number of energy facilities in our state. Nebraska relies on energy sources from coal burning plants, to nuclear power, to renewable fuels.

The first two site visits were to the Cooper Nuclear Power plant and the OPPD’s Nebraska City coal-fire facility. The Cooper Nuclear Station in Brownville NE has been in operation since 1974 and has had its license to operate renewed until 2034 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The plant is the largest, single-unit electrical generator in the state and could power more than 385,000 residential customers. The plant provides 686 jobs to the surrounding communities. We then toured the OPPD Nebraska City coal-fire plant. This station burns 6-7 train loads of coal per week. As the coal burns, water is heated into steam which then powers the turbines for energy. The excess steam is recaptured, returns to a water state, and recirculates in the plant. There are very strong regulatory emissions on these plants to ensure safety for the workers and the environment. Even though OPPD and NPPD rely on these plants for energy generation, they are also investing in renewable fuels. The energy demands in the state keep growing, and our public power entities continue to work and develop current and new sources of energy.

I also had the opportunity to tour Heartwell Renewables in Hastings NE. This is a first-in Nebraska renewable diesel refinery. It is set to go on-line in the fall. When fully operational, it is expected to produce 80 million gallons of renewable diesel every year from low-carbon feedstocks like animal tallow, waste fats, used oil etc. The facility provides over 70 competitive-wage jobs for the community of Hastings. This plant will use Nebraska ag products and turn what would have been waste into a cleaning burning fuel.

After taking tours, I also have had the opportunity to host a tour of foreign visitors to the Dorn Family Farms in early July. This is one of the approximately 10 visits over the last few years from people around the world to the farm. The visitors have ranged from foreign agriculture secretaries to elected representatives, to business people. A recent visitor was an elected official from a country that has fewer than 400,000 citizens. There also have been representatives from Ukraine, India, Africa, and many European countries. These visitors are amazed at Nebraska agriculture production and appreciate the opportunity to learn more about Nebraska ag economy. This last group was excited to take pictures standing in the tall stalks of corn in the field and by the cattle feedlot.

My trips to the Capitol are fewer but as a member of the Legislature Executive Board, we still meet every few months to conduct business related to the legislature. Also, as Chair of the Oversight Committee which includes the Performance Audit Office, the committee has to decide on performance audit projects and keep up-to-date on Inspector General issues, also under the preview of the Oversight Committee.

Weekly District 30 Update – 4/10/26

State Senator Myron Dorn

Let me start this update with a “public service announcement.” The Nebraska State Treasurer is the repository of unclaimed property money. This includes funds from forgotten bank accounts and various refunds. Thousands of names across the state appear in their documents. Access the State Treasurer website at: NebraskaLostCash.gov. You can enter just the last name to see what accounts appear, along with the city where the funds originated. If your name appears, you can submit an on-line claim to see if you are the correct claimant. My staff and I have found a number of names of family and friends and checked them for possible unclaimed funds. Good luck.

Now back to the legislative update. In the waning days of session, senators focus on finishing bills that need to pass on final reading. On Tuesday, April 10th, we stayed in session until 10:30 p.m. debating bills that were on the second round of debate. The next day, the legislature needed to pass bills onto final reading if we wanted to ensure they had a chance for final passage. On Thursday we spent hours listening to the Clerk of the Legislature read the bills and then we voted to pass 50 bills. Friday, we passed 66 bills and sent them to the Governor’s desk for his consideration. Friday, April 17th will be the last day of our session. We will address any gubernatorial overrides, and close out all the remaining bills and adjourn sine die.

Some of the bills on final reading include: LB 525 - Adopt the Agricultural Data Privacy Act and the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act; LB 304 - maintain child care subsidies; LB 955 - provide for practice agreements between pharmacists and physician assistants; LB 1087 - create the Nebraska-Ireland Commission; LB 1126 - adopt the Infrastructure Development Investment Program Act; LB 762 - require insurance coverage of pediatric autoimmune disorders; LB 803 - adopt the First-Time Home Buyer Savings Account Act; LB 966 - adopt the Hunger-Free Schools Act and provide for an appropriation; to name just a few.

Bills can make minor changes or create entire new acts. Some are simple and non- controversial; others are extremely contentious and inspire passionate debate on both sides. Some bills come down to political philosophy like LR 24CA the winner-take-all electoral college issue, others are geographically contentious like LB 1187 the Livestock Brand Act. One thing is very common with every bill: there is a constituency behind the proposal. This can range from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce working to improve laws relating to the business climate and tax incentives, to medical practitioners regarding scope of practice or licensure, to the education of K-12 children.

I want to encourage every citizen to be an active participant in your government and that begins at the voting booth. Voting is one of our most fundamental rights and responsibilities as citizens—vote for the person or the issue you believe will best serve your community. Educate yourself on the issues and the candidates running for office. Contact the representative and express your opinion in a respectful and knowledgeable manner.

This was my last session serving as District 30’s state senator. I have been honored to represent District 30 and have strived for honesty and integrity in my votes and in the bills I have introduced. I know I have not always agreed with everyone who contacted me over the years but I have always tried to listen and to explain my reasons for voting the way I did.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving District 30 and this great state.

Weekly District 30 Update – 4/2/26
State Senator Myron Dorn

Passing the state budget this year was no April Fool’s Day joke. For the first time the Legislature went past our own rule requiring us to pass a balanced budget by the 50th legislative day of a short session. We suspended the rules to allow the passage. LBs 1071, the main line budget bill, and LB 1072 the cash funds bill, both passed final reading with 35 senators supporting the budget bills and 13 in opposition, and 1 was absent.

The main line budget boiled down to basically two controversial funding issues. First was a $3.5 million appropriation to cover ‘gap’ funding for private school scholarships and second, removing a sunset on child care coverage that would drop the federal poverty rate from 185% to 130%. Both issues were removed from the budget to be debated separately. With that action the two budget bills passed and went to the Governor on April 1st. The Governor can line-item dollars out of the budget but cannot add anything back in. The Governor must return the budget to the legislature within five calendar days, excluding Sunday. We should have it back by April 7th.

If Governor Pillen made any line-item vetoes, senators can then decide if there is anything that should be overridden. The budget is still about $38 million short, but there are revenue bills that have yet to be adopted which will close the gap. As the financial status of the budget looks today, with those revenue bills passing the budget would have a small surplus.

Senators addressed another major issue, LB 1235, related to medical cannabis, which passed on a vote of 46-2. 71% of voters approved medical cannabis and the state has been slow to implement regulations. The bill would pay the medical cannabis commissioners a yearly salary of $12,500, it creates a cash fund to collect fees and other monies to be used for medical cannabis regulations; it authorizes the commission to set fees for cultivators, manufacturers, and dispensaries of up to $50,000; and lastly, it requires applicants of medical cannabis establishments to submit fingerprints for a background check (already being done by the commission). This bill is important to help the commissioners move forward with more legislative direction. It also indicates the legislature recognizes the need to implement appropriate guidelines.

Last year, I introduced a bill that would help pay for public safety answering points (PSAPs), which are the 911 service centers. Without these fees the costs would need to rely on property taxes. These services are funded with a seventy-cent surcharge on cell phones and land-lines. Omaha residents were capped at fifty cents due to former Senator Ernie Chambers fighting to have Omahans receive a discounted rate. His rationale was that this would unfairly impact low-income people in Omaha. However, low-income people live throughout the state, and Omahans travel outside the boundaries of the city and may need emergency services dispatched by the PSAP sites.

I offered an amendment (my original bill is LB 576) to LB 1126, a Transportation and Telecommunications Committee bill, to equalize the fee so everyone in the state would pay the same seventy cent rate. The amendment passed with little debate. However, one senator stood up after the amendment was adopted and started asking questions about my proposal. Another senator offered a motion to reconsider the vote. This eventually failed and my amendment stayed on the bill, and LB 1126 advanced to final reading. I think it is fair that all Nebraskans pay the same rates or fees for services rather than picking and choosing winners and losers. Now, all Nebraskans will pay the same fee for the same service.

Weekly District 30 Update – 3/26/26
State Senator Myron Dorn

This past week, for the first time in my eight years, I saw the mainline budget bill fail to advance twice. I have not supported state dollars going toward private school scholarships. The state has the responsibility to help fund public schools and we have significantly increased those funds over the years. After an additional two hours of filibuster debate, I voted in favor of cloture to end the filibuster. I received some negative feedback. However, my comments in emails explained that the budget is more than just one issue, it involves balancing a significant revenue shortfall and ensuring needed services are funded as well.

On Thursday, March 26, Chairman Robert Clements offered amendments to remove two controversial issues that caused the gridlock on the budget. The first was the proposed $3.5 million for ‘gap’ funding for private school scholarships, and the second was a childcare tax credit that was going to reduce the poverty level from 185% to 130%. These two issues will be debated outside of the budget. Within minutes of Senator Clements offering these amendments, the mainline budget bill, (without scholarship dollars) advanced to final reading with 34 in support and 7 voting no. Then LB 1072, the cash funds bill, removed the childcare tax credit. This bill advanced on a voice vote to final reading.

LB 525, by Senator Mike Jacobson of North Platte, creates comprehensive privacy protections for Nebraska agricultural data. The bill requires controllers of ag data to enter into written agreements with ag producers before any information or data can be used or sold. The language in the bill establishes the agricultural producer as the sole ‘owner’ of any data such as climate, weather, land, livestock, management or sustainability data. This raw data can only be sold by the producer, and if sold, the controller of this information must then ensure reasonable security to protect it. Senator Jacobson stated that this bill is a starting point and would be the first of its kind in the country to protect ag data.

Another bill amended into LB 525 was LB1185 by Senator Elliot Bostar of Lincoln, which would adopt the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act. He stated minors can easily be confused if they are in conversations with a real person or a chatbot. I think some adults could also fall into this situation. The bill would require recurring AI disclaimers, limits on engagement-based rewards, and deployment of reasonable measures to prevent sexual content. It would also require protocols to respond to prompts involving suicidal ideations. As amended, LB 525 advanced to the second round of debate on a 35 – 0 vote. I supported its advancement.

The legislature also heard debate on LB 1165 by Senator Brad von Gillern of Elkhorn. This bill incentivizes major employers, of at least 3,000 employees, to keep their headquarters in Nebraska after merging with another company. Among the incentives, the bill provides a wage retention credit and allows the employer to use state tax credits to pay up to 50% of childcare for employees.

Some senators pointed out this bill is aimed at keeping Union Pacific railroad headquarters in Nebraska once they merge with the Atlanta-based railroad. I think it is imperative that Nebraska incentivizes these large employers to stay in Nebraska. The recent events in Lexington, with the closure of Tyson Foods, clearly demonstrate the devastating impact losing these big employers can have not only on the community but the entire state. As amended, LB 1165 advanced to select file on a vote of 38 – 3. I support this bill.

Weekly District 30 Update – 3/20/26

State Senator Myron Dorn

Frustration is the word I would use to describe the debate on the state’s budget bill, LB 1071. We started the session with a shortfall of $471 million which grew to over $640 million after the forecasting board made its evaluations of state revenues at the end of February . The Appropriations Committee brought the two main budget bills to the floor, the other is LB 1072 which contains the cash fund transfers. When we sent these two bills to the floor, we still had a gap of approximately $125 million. An amendment brought to the floor lowered the deficit to a little under $40 million.

To help address this shortfall, the committee relied on the Revenue Committee to review over two hundred tax exemptions. These exemptions have been debated over the years and strong lobbying groups oppose many of them. LB 901, brought by the committee carries several provisions to generate more revenue, up to $20 million this next fiscal year. Rolling back some tax credits would raise approximately $15 million. An increase in taxes on profits from cash devices—also called skill games or grey machines, usually seen at bars and convenience stores—would generate about $6.68 million. The bill contains support for organizations that help victims of human trafficking and domestic violence.

Some senators offered amendments to slow the implementation of the income tax reductions, or increase the tax on certain products. Earlier in the session we debated a bill to increase the tax on ci******es and v**e products, raising $50 million to offset Medicaid costs thus freeing up general funds to address the budget shortfall. This bill failed to advance.

The revenue bill has helped to close the gap but we are still short. One contentious issue was the Governor’s inclusion of $7 million in the Department of Labor’s budget to fund a gap’ year for private school scholarships. These funds were meant to bridge the gap for students who began attending private schools with state funds that will end before the federal funds kick in. The Appropriations Committee dropped the amount to $3.5 million and limited it to those families at 185% or less. In the first round of debate, Senator Brandt attempted to remove those funds. He stated he would not vote for cloture if those funds remained in the budget. His amendment fell two votes short.

When LB 1071 was debated on March 19th on the second round of debate, Senator Clements, who chairs the Appropriations Committee, offered an amendment that removed the $3.5 million. A number of senators who support funding these private school scholarships, said they would not support closure if the funds didn’t remain in the budget. After four hours of debate, Speaker Arch moved to invoke cloture, the motion failed on a vote of 19 ayes, 10 nays and 19 present and not voting. We are at an impasse with the budget bill 1071.

I stated on the floor that the Governor should not have placed these funds within an agency that has nothing to do with education nor should it have been in the budget. This request should have been a bill on its own, going through the proper avenue - the Education Committee -then to the floor for debate.

As of Friday morning no resolution has been reached and I don’t believe any senators have changed their position on the funding or not of private school scholarships. Which means there are not enough votes to get to 33 for a cloture vote. We as the Appropriation Committee were tasked with reducing state funds to address the shortfall. We did that by sweeping many cash funds, reducing appropriations to agency programs and reducing tax credits. All the while we still provide over $1.5 billion for property tax credits and assist in funding public education with over $1 billion as well. It is my hope senators can reach an agreement on the budget.

Weekly District 30 Update – 3/12/26

State Senator Myron Dorn

First, I would like to pay tribute to Sergeant 1st Class Noah Tietjens of Bellevue, Nebraska. He was killed by an unmanned drone attack in Kuwait, while serving his country. Five other soldiers lost their lives in this attack. I want to extend my deepest sympathies and a heartfelt thank you for their service and their sacrifice to defend our freedom. Men and women who serve in the military are selfless as are their families who worry and wait at home for their safe return. You all deserve respect and our support.

The Legislature continues to debate bills; recently, the debate has focused on the budget, LB 1071 (the main line budget bill) and LB 1072 (cash funds). Per the constitution, the legislature is required to deliver a balanced budget. The Appropriations Committee has worked for months cutting where possible, using unspent cash funds when necessary, and looking for revenue options.
With an initial budget deficit of $471 million which grew by another $175 million after the forecasting board added to the decreased revenue, the committee presented an appropriation package that was still $125 million short of balanced.

There are two ways to balance the budget: cut services and state programs or look at ways to increase revenue which means more taxes. Cutting services seems like an easy fix but many of those services are provided to low-income families and children, or the elderly or those with disabilities. Many programs protect our environment and health, and other programs protect public safety. Some of those programs have already been reduced in previous years.

An amendment was offered to cut spending and address the deficit. The amendment would have removed the remaining $3.5 million set aside for private school tuition. Senator Brandt tried to remove this funding. Senators who support private school ‘vouchers’ fought this amendment and it failed to be adopted by two votes. I supported removing these funds from the budget. The state is responsible for a free public education. We cannot afford to pay for private schools when we are still working to address funding public schools and reducing property tax. This amendment will be offered again on Select File, our second round of debate, and I hope two more senators will step forward and help get this amendment adopted. Otherwise, it could jeopardize the advancement of the overall budget bill.

Then there was an amendment to increase the tax on ci******es by a $1 per pack and increase the tax on v**e products. The proposal would have raised approximately $50 million in funds and would be used to offset Medicaid expenses which have grown by $70 million over the past year. Many of those who use these products have adverse health outcomes and should help pay for those results. With this increase, Nebraska still would have been on par with our surrounding states for this tax except for Missouri. Some senators felt this attacked low-income individuals and other senators were opposed to any tax increase. I felt it appropriate to raise the tax and supported the amendment. It was not successful.

Then there was an attempt to take funds for the Perkins Canal project, which seeks to protect Nebraska’s water rights with Colorado. This amendment did not pass. I am a firm supporter of keeping those funds in place. The legislature set those funds aside knowing we need to protect our water for agricultural purposes in the western part of the state. I also want to keep our property tax relief programs in place. I am opposed to taking any funds from this project.

Nebraska needs to grow our economy and increase our population. Hence reductions in income tax rates and boosts to affordable housing and business tax incentives are essential to encourage people and businesses to this state. I do not want to see a pause on the income tax reductions because it would be too difficult to reduce this in the future.

At the moment it appears the legislature is at an impasse with some senators who don’t want any tax increase and others who would go after hard fought funding for projects and income tax reductions. We will need to reach some compromise along the way in order to balance the budget. We need to grow our population and our businesses.

Weekly District 30 Update – 3/6/26
State Senator Myron Dorn

Monday, March 9th is the fortieth day of our sixty-day session. The state budget comes to the floor and will begin to take priority for debate. The Appropriations Committee has sent the budget bills to the floor. The main ones are LB 1071 which is referred to as the main-line budget bill because it contains the majority of funding to run state government and LB 1072 which deals with many of the state’s cash funds. The committee faced an approximately $470 million shortfall. Then the state Forecasting Board met at the end of February and added an additional $175 million to that shortfall. So, the total amount we needed to cut rose to $645 million. The committee took $130 million out of the cash reserve (our rainy-day fund). We cut spending in a number of programs, took money from other cash funds that had balances, and we are still $130 million short. When the budget comes to the floor, senators will see a green sheet which lays out all of the budget numbers, revenues, expenditures, cash transfers, and fund balances. We rely on this ‘green sheet’ to keep us up-to-date on every financial decision we make to reach a balanced budget. This green sheet is updated every day.

The Executive Board of the Legislature approved the Speaker of the Legislature's request to make the budget bills super priorities. This allows the Speaker to control the order of any proposed amendments. To attach those amendments, we only need 25 votes. This ensures that if a filibuster occurs on the budget, it can be amended and put in good form. To overcome a filibuster, 33 votes are needed. The budget will take up a significant number of remaining days. The budget must pass by the fifth day. If we don’t pass a new budget, last year’s budget remains, which means we have a $650 million deficit. If this happens, we could be back this summer in a special session.

Revenue Committee bills are coming to the floor for debate, which may help address the budget gap. One such bill was LB 1124, introduced by Senator Tony Sorrentino of Omaha, which would raise the excise tax on a package of ci******es from 64 cents to $1.64. The money would be used to help pay for Medicaid costs which are a significant portion of our state budget. Ninety-seven cents would go toward Medicaid and the additional three cents to the general fund. The bill was projected to raise $42 million dollars. This increase would put Nebraska in line with our surrounding states except Missouri. I supported this bill. Not just for the increased revenue, but I believe if a person uses to***co, which for decades has proven to cause significant and costly negative health outcomes, they should help pay to offset the costs of those behaviors. There was also an amendment adopted to increase the tax on v**e products by 30%. The bill as amended was filibustered and failed to advance.

Friday, debate began on a Revenue Committee package, LB 901. The package removes some sales and use tax exemptions covering data center, biochips, cemeteries, game birds, community-based energy development (C-BED) projects, and mineral oil used as a dust suppressant. It also sunsets tax credits for renewable energy and makes such credits non-refundable. There are some essential tax credits in the proposal. LB 1131 creates the Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking Service Providers Tax Credit Act, a new income tax credit program for the programs and providers assisting victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. It requires the Department of Revenue to issue $6 million dollars in refundable,
transferable income tax credits annually to qualifying tribal programs and nonprofit organizations. LB 1131 also strikes the personal property and sales and use tax exemptions for data centers.

With our budget deficit we still face, a possible sales tax increase could be an option. For example, a ½ cent (0.5%) increase in the state sales tax rate would raise roughly $265 million per year. So, a ¼ cent sales tax increase for 1 year could see us through this budget shortfall. The legislature can put a sunset date on a sales tax, just like what was done for Gage County to address the Beatrice 6 federal judgment against the county.

Weekly District 30 Update – 2/27/26

State Senator Myron Dorn

The old adage, "time flies when you are having fun," doesn't apply to a short legislative session when we face a large budget deficit. Time is flying in the legislature and pressure is on the Appropriations Committee to balance state agencies' and program needs with reduced state revenue. Added to that is pressure from the Governor to fund specific budget items and drastically cut other programs. Senators then have bills that may seek funding, which I think I can safely say have no chance of being funded if they seek General Fund money.

The Appropriations Committee is in post-hearing reviews, examining each agency request and the Governor's requests, some of which require additional dollars. While the committee works on the existing budgetary shortfall, the state’s Economic Forecasting Board met on Friday, the 27th and determined there is an increased shortfall of at least an additional $155 million, on top of the shortfall we were already facing. The committee must finalize our budget in LBs 1071 and 1072 by March 3rd or 4th so our legislative fiscal office can finalize the budget's drafting and get it to the printers, in order for the bills to be presented to the legislature on the 40th day, March, 9th. The budget will most likely be super priority bills designated by the Speaker so he can control the amendments. If the budget is filibustered, we would need 33 votes for closure. I am sure there will be amendments to the budget.

For the past six weeks, committees heard public testimony on 547 newly introduced bills and the hearings have concluded. Now the legislature turns to full day floor debate on priority bills. Unless a bill has a priority designation, that bill has very little chance of being considered. The only exception will be if the Speaker, Senator John Arch, decides to have a consent calendar. This is where senators can request their non-controversial bills for a chance to be debated. Each bill is limited to 15 minutes of debate time. After that, senators will vote on the issue. With only 25 legislative days remaining, time is short and tight to address the budget shortfall, and the other issues the legislature has been asked to address.

I had three bills in hearings this week. The first was LB 1019 which would ensure county assessors entering a property in the performance of their official duties would be exempt from liability for trespass. An Attorney General’s opinion stated an assessor could be considered trespassing if he or she goes onto a property; hence the bill. There were concerns about the bill and we are working on language to address those issues. Assessors do use drones and aerial photography but they are limited in detail and can be costly. We are working on language to address concerns raised at the hearing.

LB 943, brought by a Gage County constituent, sought immunity from nuisance claims for race tracks if the race track was there first. Patterned after the right to farm act, when a farming operation exists and land use around the farm changes, the farming operation is protected from nuisance claims. The racetrack in Gage County has been in operation for almost 70 years and has worked with neighbors to address dust, noise and other issues as they arise, but this bill is proactive and works to offset potential nuisance claims.

The last bill I presented was a clean-up of cash funds from the Supreme Court Administrators office. One cash fund needed to be based on statute per a previous law, another cash fund needed to be eliminated since its authority was given to other agencies and this fund was no longer used. The last fund related to the printing and revenue generated from court reports. These reports are now digital and free to access so no money is coming in, hence the elimination of the fund.
