Abstract
This NebGuide looks at the steps necessary for a bill to become a law in Nebraska.
The legislative process sometimes seems to be clothed in an aura of mystery. An understanding of the organization of the governing body and the steps involved in the introduction and passage of a bill should help remove some of the mystery.
A bill is an idea for a new law, or an idea to abolish or change an existing law.
Several hundred bills, ideas about many things, enter the legislative process in Nebraska each time the legislature meets.
