LB1110A is the appropriations companion bill to Legislative Bill 1110. It provides funding from the Department of Revenue Enforcement Fund to the Department of Revenue for the program created or affected by LB1110, with the stated purpose of helping carry out the underlying policy changes in that bill. The measure also specifies that no expenditures for permanent or temporary salaries or per diems for state employees may be made from the appropriated funds.
The bill sets an operative date of July 1 and includes an emergency clause, meaning it would take effect immediately upon passage and approval under Nebraska law. As an appropriation bill, its function is limited to authorizing the necessary funding rather than creating the substantive policy itself, which is contained in the related LB1110.
Impact
LB1110A would amend state spending authority by appropriating money from the Department of Revenue Enforcement Fund to the Department of Revenue for implementation of LB1110. Its practical effect is to provide the fiscal support needed for the related program while restricting the use of those funds for state employee salaries and per diem expenses. Because it is an appropriation measure, it affects budgetary administration and the Department of Revenue’s ability to implement the companion legislation, but it does not itself alter tax law or regulatory provisions directly.
Sentiment
There is little direct evidence of debate in the available record because no committee transcripts or recorded votes are included. The bill’s final status of indefinitely postponed suggests it did not advance to enactment, but the record provided does not show whether that was due to fiscal concerns, policy objections, or procedural reasons. Overall, the available materials indicate a neutral, technical appropriations measure rather than a controversial policy proposal.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided transcripts or vote history. The only notable substantive limitation in the bill text is the prohibition on using the appropriated funds for permanent or temporary salaries and per diems, which could matter to the Department of Revenue’s implementation planning. Otherwise, any disagreement would likely have centered on the underlying LB1110 program or on the need for the appropriation itself, but the supplied record does not identify any particular opponents or arguments.
