Nebraska lawmakers delay debate on creating new technology committee

LINCOLN — It’s been 40 years since the Nebraska Legislature last altered its committee structures, and state lawmakers declined an opportunity to revisit the issue this year.Term-limited State Sen. Wendy DeBoer of Bennington has been pushing for lawmakers to consider rearranging legislative committees to add a focus on technology, but last Thursday she said her proposal lacked enough support to pass. With this being DeBoer’s last session, she encouraged returning lawmakers to continue the effort in future sessions.
