LB829A appropriates $19,777 for FY2024-25 and $39,554 for FY2025-26 from the General Fund to the University of Nebraska’s Board of Regents for mandating insurance coverage for certain cancer screenings and treatments.
The Nebraska State Senate passed LB829A on April 11, 2024 by a vote of 40 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this type of spending lies outside the proper role of government, and Nebraska legislators should instead focus on cutting spending and shrinking the size of government.
