Change provisions relating to burning permits and the statewide open burning ban
Approved by Governor on April 14, 2026
Summary
Nebraska now bans all bonfires, outdoor rubbish fires, and land‑clearing burns unless a local fire chief issues a permit. The permit must include specific details about the burn and may cost up to $10, with the State Fire Marshal providing a standard form. Land‑management burns such as prescribed or controlled fires also require a detailed plan and approval, and permits are valid for only 30 days.
