Last week, the Nebraska 2024 Legislative Session adjourned sine die, which means the session is completed for the year.
This year, the legislative session was relatively quiet for sportsmen, with the only bit of excitement early in the session, when we reported on Legislative Bill 1413. LB 1413 would have decimated conservation funding for all Nebraskans by diverting $7 million from the Game Fund to the General Fund, with an additional transfer of $2.5 million from the Nebraska Habitat Fund to the General Fund.
Thanks to your emails and phone calls, the detrimental language was removed, along with opposition to the bill.
Only a handful more sportsmen-related bills were introduced, and nothing pro- or anti-sportsmen made it to the governor’s desk for his consideration.
Even though the 2024 legislative session is over, the Sportsmen’s Alliance will continue to monitor activities in the Cornhusker State. You never know when issues that sportsmen need to be aware of may arise.
On our interactive map, you can view the bills the Sportsmen’s Alliance monitored during the legislative session. Please share this message with your family and friends, as sportsmen throughout the state must continue to stay actively involved in defending our hunting, fishing, and trapping heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.
