By examining the valuation methodologies, the findings may influence legislative changes that could either alleviate burdens on landowners or improve the efficiency and fairness of the land valuation process.

LR186 is an interim study aimed at examining the issues raised in LB820 from 2023, which relates to the valuation of land in Nebraska.
