LB 388 amends statues regarding the judicial nominating process by tightening residency and political party requirements, limiting
commission service to 8 consecutive years, and streamlining electronic nominations for lawyer members. It mandates faster public
hearings, immediate vacancy appointments, and automatic removal for disqualified members.
The Supreme Court states that there is a potential for a reduction in General Fund expenditures due to these changes, but any savings
are expected to be minimal.
