Change and eliminate provisions relating to workplace safety committees and a workplace safety program and terminate a fund
Approved by Governor on February 24, 2026
Summary
The legislation repeals Nebraska statutes that require employers to form safety committees and run a workplace safety program, and it terminates the associated fund. It also revises the rules for assigned‑risk workers’ compensation coverage, making non‑compliance with the repealed safety rules a disqualifier, and updates notice requirements for policy cancellation and non‑renewal. The changes affect all employers that rely on workers’ compensation insurance, especially those classified as assigned‑risk.
