How would one go about passing a law in Nebraska?

I have been trying to read up on how to get a law on the desks of our legislature and I really have not come up with any thing. With out going into great detail on this particular law it is one that would save the lives of officers in the field. Many states have such a law but Nebraska does not. I have talked with law enforcment agencys around the state and this is a law that saves lives but they don't even want to hear it. So how would one go about making this happen. Is there a patition process or is it all up to our state leaders?


I suggest you make contact with the person in the state government that represents you and your specific area of the state......state senator or legislator.....start with them...they may carry the bill for you or at least let you know what you need to do to start the process. Remember your local representative counts on you specifically to get them elected to their seat so they will be more than willing to help you out.

Get a petition going and then send it to the state legislature.

Private citizens cannot table legislation. If you are serious, you need to convince a sitting member to table it.
