Information Item     
    
        Discussion: 
Executive Director shared legislative updates.  LB998 Behavior intervention and training committee voted out of committee.  Revised amendment of LB1803 and LB 47 to keep moving this bill moving forward. Lottery funds were also voted out of committee.  We have several testified for keeping the lottery funds.  LB920 - Groene - Change provisions for the distribution of lottery funds used for education, transfer powers and duties, and create new funds.  NDE Department clean-up bill - ESU funds if there is a school consolidation.  LB974 - reduces property taxes - Change taxation and school funding provisions.  LB1073 - Create the School Financing Review Commission, add basic funding aid, and change adjusted valuations, the local effort rate, and certification dates.  She would have a commission to meet to discuss inequities.  Does not have much traction to date.
