Constitutional amendment to create requirements for the use of the Nebraska Environmental Trust Fund

Summary

The proposed amendment would allow Nebraska to run a state‑run lottery and require that, after prizes and operating costs, the remaining money be split among several programs: $500,000 to a compulsive‑gambling assistance fund, 44.5% to the Nebraska Environmental Trust, 44.5% to education as directed by the Legislature, 10% to the State Fair Board if local matching funds are provided, and 1% back to the gambling assistance fund. It also sets rules for which types of games can be offered and how they are approved. The measure was placed on the November 2026 ballot but was indefinitely postponed and did not pass.
