Section 14 amends the m embership of the Board of Public Roads Classifications and Standards.
Section 22 removes certain reporting requirements that the Department of Health and Human Serv ices shall make to the Health and
Human Services Committee of the Legislature.
Section 29 changes membership of the Propane Education and Research Council from nine members to five.
Section 32 terminates the Women ’s Health Initiative Fund on July 1, 2026.
Section 75 terminates the Rural Broadband Task Force Fund on July 1, 2026 and directs the State Treasurer to transfer any money in
the fund to the General Fund.
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) fiscal note response includes funding and revenue that is currently housed with the Nebraska
Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board. The Board’s duties are transferred to the DMV as of July 1, 2026 (fiscal year 2027). The
agency estimates are based on FY27 budgetary amounts. Until the biennial budget is enacted, the actual appropriation amounts are
unknown. However, whatever amount is added to the DMV appropriation will be reduced from the Board, resulting in a net impact of
$0. The same holds true for any revenue collec ted. The Board currently has 9.0 FTE. With the transfer of programmatic duties, DMV
assumes nine new FTE. Personal Services Limitation (PSL) for these positions is estimated to be $536,166. DMV will need this PSL in
addition to any appropriated dollars. There is no basis to disagree with these estimates. It is possible that ope rational efficiencies and
economies of scale may be realized in the future. However, those amounts cannot be accurately identified at this time.
The Nebraska Department of Agriculture estimates a cost savings and revenue decrease of $85,000 Cash Funds per year. These
reductions are related to the repeal of the Nebraska Potato Development Act and its related excise tax. The Department estimates a
projected fund balance of approximately $90,000 on July 1, 2026. The Department correctly identifies that LB 346 is silent regarding
the disposition of any remaining fund balance.
The Nebraska Children’ s Commission estimates an annual savings of approximately $1,500 Cash Funds per year. The se savings
would not be realized until FY27. This amount is associated with travel costs and in -person meeting space rental. This estimate
appears to be reasonable.
Other agencies, boards, and commissions responding to the request for fiscal note input estimated no fiscal impact.

Explanation of Estimate:
LB 346 proposes to eliminate, terminate, and transfer powers, duties, and membership of a variety of boards,
commissions, committees, councils, task forces, panels, authorities, and departments.
State Accounting would need to make necessary adjustments and changes to the payroll and financial system to
accommodate for the restructure of funds and accounting information. Such changes can be done utilizing existing
resources.
The bill terminates the Vacant Buildings and Excess Land Committee, as well as the Employee Suggestion Board
and transfers the duties and responsibility to the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) effective July 1,
2026. The bill also terminates the State Comprehensive Capital Facilities Planning Committee and transfers the
duties and responsibilities to DAS - State Building Division, as well as terminates the Governor’s Residence
Advisory Commission effective July 1, 2026.
On July 1, 2026, the bill terminates a technical panel created under Section 86- 521 and transfers the duties and
responsibilities of the panel to the Nebraska Information Technology Commission (NITC).
Further on July 1, 2026, the Rural Broadband Task Force and the Rural Broadband Task Force cash fund are
terminated. The State Treasurer shall transfer any money remaining in the fund on such date to the General Fund.
The cash Rural Broadband Fund under the Department of Administrative Services – Office of the Chief Information
Officer (OCIO) has a fund balance as of January 21, 2024, of $36,856.96.
Duties and responsibilities transferred by LB 346 can be absorbed utilizing existing staffing and resources. Any
members on a continuing committee would continue to be eligible for reimbursement of travel expenses. The
consolidation or elimination of the named committees and commission will likely lessen the number of meetings
that take place, which may result in lower mileage reimbursements, but the savings would be negligible.
LB 346 has no fiscal impact to the Department of Administrative Services.

Explanation of Estimate:
This legislation passing would create a small amount of savings for the Children’s Commission. The
Commission spends roughly $1,500 annually on mileage reimbursement and in- person meeting space rental. It
is important to note that the Commission will continue the work of these committees in the event LB346 were to
pass. Termination of these committees will not impact a majority of members who use mileage reimbursement
as most of these individuals are Commission members and entitled to reimbursement due to this.

LB346 as proposed would shift the statutory duties of the Nebraska Safety Center Advisory Council to the
Coordinating Commission for Post Secondary Education on July 1, 2026. With the dissolution of the Nebraska
Safety Center Advisory Council the NDOT representative will no longer be needed.

Furthermore, starting July 1, 2026, the board will have the sole responsibility for overseeing the County and
City Superintendents Streets Act with the termination of the Board of Examiners for County High way and City

If LB346 is enacted, no fiscal impact is anticipated to NDOT.

Explanation of Estimate:
The bill terminates three committees and boards, as well as their related statutes, which are budgetarily
housed in the Department effective July 1, 2026.
The repeal of the Nebraska Potato Development Act in Section 1 includes ending an excise tax and associated
cash fund. Fiscal impact is based on estimated revenue and expenditures for FY2024-25. The Department
estimates approximately $90,000 will be available on July 1, 2026, based on the current balance and spending
levels. Note that the legislation does not specifically transfer the balance to another fund.
The Nebraska Aquaculture Board and Climate Assessment Response Committee expenses from the General
Fund were limited to meeting notices totaling less than $25 annually. There would be no fiscal impact by
terminating either.

Explanation of Estimate:
LB 346, Sections 64-68, terminates the Nebraska Safety Center Advisory Council that assists the Nebraska
Safety Center on the campus of UNK and the Private Postsecondary Career School Act advisory council that
advises the Department of Education, and transfers those duties to the commission.
The commission believes it will have limited advisory duties that would occur on an as-requested basis by the
Nebraska Safety Center or the Department of Education. It is anticipated these limited contacts could be
managed within the commission’s current appropriation.
No fiscal impact.
