What the bill says
From the introduced text:
One Hundred Ninth Legislature - Second Session - 2026 Introducer's Statement of Intent LB876 Chairperson: Senator Carolyn Bosn Committee: Judiciary The following constitute the reasons for this bill and the purposes which are sought to be accomplished thereby: LB876 would allow a process for law enforcement to initiate an immediate protective order for victims of a domestic or sexual assault. The immediate protective order would be in effect for 72 hours. LB 876 also amends Neb. Rev. Stat. § 26-114 to clarify the service of final protection orders. The bill provides that if the respondent is present in court when a judge issues the final order, the respondent shall be deemed to have notice of the protection order, and further service of notice is not required. The bill provides necessary clarification to the protection order changes made by LB80 in 2025. The bill also removes an unnecessary definition of "course of conduct" as suggested by Bill Drafters. Principal Introducer: ________________________________ Senator Bob Hallstrom
